Well, as we are working with our companies here in this country, do you think there is the need for the United States to play a leading role in terms of defining what actually constitutes extremist content so that private companies are…

I would like to send my thoughts and prayers as well to all the victims in this morning's shooting in Alexandria.

We should seek fact-based solutions that enable us to address all extremist threats in an adaptive and integrated manner.

The perpetuation of anti-Islamic attitudes I believe undermines our collective values.

I am extremely troubled that you believe if a minority member asks those kinds of questions you are not under any obligation to give that information.

That child does not care whether or not it was man-made or natural. It is a disaster.

I represent the entire State of Michigan. My colleagues represent the whole country.

Today the President is in my hometown of Cincinnati talking about infrastructure. I am delighted he is doing that.

I hope, if confirmed, that you fully appreciate the need for us to work in a cooperative way.

I do hope that the information will be forthcoming to this Committee, and I know the Chairman feels the same way, that, this is our responsibility.

I was very disappointed that they did not receive a major disaster declaration from the President.

If I hear your comments correctly, the CBO is a valuable, non-partisan policy analysis organization, unless you disagree with their conclusions.

One solution that I have been working on would provide airports greater flexibility to use passenger facility charges to improve their security infrastructure.

This finger pointing is putting the traveling public at risk and is, quite frankly, unacceptable.
