You have talked a great deal about how we have to keep robust competition.

I have never seen a perfect bill. I do not think one exists and never will exist, so you have to go back and refine it and try to find those changes.

In this great country of ours, we had folks who knew that if they got sick, that might mean personal bankruptcy for them.

How could we accept the kind of system that existed before the Affordable Care Act where now anybody--even if they have a preexisting condition--can get health care?

So, maybe, I will open it to the panelists and maybe Mr. Kreidler will mention--what should we be doing? And then, the others--what should we be doing to reign in these outrageous price increases from drug companies when there is not even…

The Affordable Care Act is not going to be repealed, but that does not mean it is perfect.

I thank Congresswoman Sinema for organizing this bipartisan gathering to raise awareness about the suicide epidemic plaguing our veterans community and for the gentlewoman's leadership on this important cause. San Diego is home to the…

I rise to speak about the Water Resources Development Act, known as WRDA as well, which we are now considering and we expect to vote on next week. This bill will significantly reduce the threat of lead exposure and other drinking water…

I rise today to speak about the need to pass the Water Resources Development Act of 2016, also known as WRDA. Despite strong, bipartisan support, the Senate has yet to take a vote on a commonsense, necessary piece of legislation. Frankly…

Investments in space don't only help us understand the universe, they create jobs and drive innovation in Michigan and communities all across the Nation.

I rise with a heavy heart to address devastating tragedies that have shaken communities in Michigan and across this country. Just yesterday, the community of St. Joseph, MI, suffered a tragic shooting that cost the lives of two dedicated…

If we can keep NASA on its current path, it is likely that the Commercial Crew Program will finally launch American astronauts from U.S. soil by the end of 2017.

That's to achieve the Mars mission, you would need modest increases, in your estimation?

The social--or real--cost of carbon is the monetary estimate of the damages caused by carbon dioxide emissions to the environment, health, and economic growth. Today's bill contains an unnecessary and harmful policy rider that would delay…

I would just say, again, I think the gentleman makes an excellent point that 7 percent is a pretty aggressive discount rate and maybe we should talk about the methodology. But what we should not do is prevent the discussion in its…

we're getting the dual benefit of being able to bring back home those dollars that would be spent outside of the United States.

Our path forward is not easy, but it is necessary for the future of our American space program.

I look forward to working with my colleagues to reauthorize NASA and provide the agency with the stability and consistency of purpose that is needed.

I don't see any problem in proceeding with the SLS system, which could potentially benefit the private sector with its capabilities.

we need to hang together.

May I ask how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

How much time do I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 30 seconds remaining.

I just want to leave with one thought, Mr. Gerstenmaier. You mentioned about the Space Station generation.

We must continue to innovate, find new efficiencies, meet new deadlines, and maintain the highest standards of excellence.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 154, strike line 22 and all that follows through page 155, line 8. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House…
