Tim Walberg

Mr. Walberg. At what point during the process would PSN have reported to OJP what it was spending the money on?

This is a bipartisan issue, which is why earlier this year, we passed my bill, the GONE Act...

the reason why this country, as I recollect, is the greatest country in the world based upon only a short period of time of being alive as a country, 240 years, is because we had the ability to take risk and develop reward to get capital…

We cannot be put off by the fact that there is disagreement and diversity of opinion.

I thank the chairman and the ranking member. I rise to support a bipartisan amendment that I have offered with my colleague, the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Dingell), which helps communities combat the opioid and heroin epidemic by…

But your statement on Tuesday said there is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton's position should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation.

So Secretary Clinton's revised statement that she never knowingly sent or received any classified information is probably also untrue?

It's our responsibility to do oversight and reform as necessary.

Is it your statement, then, before this committee that Secretary Clinton should have known not to send classified material, and yet she did?

There doesn't seem to be a double standard there.

I think she was extremely careless, I think she was negligent.

I thank the chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am not sure what bill my friends on the other side are talking about, but I am glad to be talking about a great bill that my friend, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Palmer), has introduced. I…

The question I have from that, would it be difficult for any Cabinet-level official, and specifically any Cabinet official, to determine if information is classified?

And, Director Comey, for making it very clear that you believe we've done this respectfully, with good intention.

Northwest Ordinance stated about education, religion, morality acknowledged being necessary to a good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.

I thank the chairman of the committee and the ranking member for the work that has been done, and I look forward to supporting this important appropriations, but I rise to offer a bipartisan amendment with the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan will be postponed. It is the understanding of the Chair that amendment No. 38 will…

In closing, I ask my colleagues to support this. I appreciate the sentiment and the concern of the ranking member and the chairman of the committee, but this is an issue that has weighed concerns for too long. It is time to give the…

How much time do I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Michigan has 15 seconds remaining.

I appreciate the chairman and ranking member's concerns, but 50 percent of the funds still remain to be used. They are there for that purpose. I think that is sufficient. Last year, 233 of us voted in favor of this amendment in a…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the following new section: Sec. __. None of the funds…

Our veterans face many challenges when they return home from war, both physical and psychological. All too often, the latter is overlooked. An estimated 22 veterans per day take their own life, many of them struggling with post-traumatic…

Our initiative is aimed at lifting people out of poverty and onto the ladder of opportunity.

Last year we heard from Eric Williams, who started his career working on the line at a fast food restaurant and then climbed the ranks to become an industry executive.

Just want to bring that up, hypocrisy that we hear.
