I recently heard from several financial aid officers in my district that they are concerned about fraud in the Pell Grant program.

I thank the chairman. I find it unbelievable to sit here and listen to the divisive, erroneous, fear-mongering information that's being put forth by the other side of the aisle. It's unbecoming. Today's workplaces are a lot different than…

This is a situation that is atrocious in that it happened.

I thank the gentlelady, my friend from Missouri, for holding this opportunity for us to speak on the Second Amendment. I've often said at town hall meetings that we're talking about the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the Second…

For many young people, higher education has become a very expensive dream because of rising costs. The average new graduate is struggling to pay off more than $25,000 in debt while hunting for a job in this stagnant economy. While…

I rise with my colleagues today to ask why the media has not reported on this atrocity that's been going on related to Dr. Gosnell. I rise as a Member of Congress, but also a minister. I read an article just recently on this very issue…

I am concerned about the fact that there is so much remediation that goes on at our colleges, universities, our community colleges.

In light of what has been talked about this morning, and some comments made, I think we need to go back in history a little bit and remember that when the President offered the sequester, as an alternative to dealing with the budget…

However, I think the three of you and others at the front line of leading very important functions that our citizens expect to see and that their tax dollars pay for, I being one, Mr. Jarvis, who started out my university career majoring…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to be in the battle for the middle class of Michigan's great Seventh District, as well as the middle class of the United States. Today, Michigan's unemployment rate is nearly 9 percent, and the…

President Obama finally released his 2014 budget this week, 2 months late and trillions of dollars short. Similar to last year's plan, it taxes more to spend more. While the President claims his budget will reduce the deficit in a balanced…

This important legislation would allow private-sector employees to choose paid time off, or 'comp time', as compensation for working overtime hours.

I am proud to support Working Families Flexibility Act of 2013.

I appreciate the opportunity to address this Chamber and to address an issue of great concern to me. I just heard my colleague and friend from Ohio and what he had to say, and certainly there is a debate that's going on that's worth being…

Representative Roby has proven to be a strong advocate for America's workers and we are grateful for her leadership.

I think a number of us could use comp time today in the number of committees we have to be at at the same time.

Today we take a look at the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program and consider changes that can strengthen the program going forward.

Unfortunately, the FEHBP and its administrator, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, OPM, are hamstrung by a 50-plus-year-old statute.

The hallmarks of a model health care program are healthy competition, consumer choice, and high-quality care at a reasonable cost.

I am proud to have joined my colleague Rosa DeLauro as an original cosponsor of the Healthy Families Act legislation, which provides paid sick days to nearly 30 million workers.

Those are challenging things, and it is good to get information for us to hear as we battle with that whole issue of diminishing dollars at this point in time and getting a $16 trillion debt and deficit spending under control, and dealing…

It is their money that we are spending for these other programs, and it is important that we be good stewards of that money.

If there is anything that can be done for assistance and how those monies are reported back, that would be greatly appreciated.

the only way to foster positive growth in the economy is if we do it at the grassroots level

Boy, I like these field hearings. More questions to finish off.
