I mean it is just sort of an envelope slid under the door; a very, very strange, I would opine, way of communicating with the Congress of the United States.

We should be very shocked that it is happening here.

I am quite disappointed that we are not in session next week.

the fact of the matter is sequestration is something that both sides have their skin in the game.

It is unconscionable for the Office of Management and Budget, for our government to be telling companies that they should break the law and that they will pick up the penalties for doing this.

It was never the objective of Gramm-Rudman to trigger sequester.

I submit for publication the attached copy of the rules of the Committee on Education and the Workforce for the U.S. House of Rerpresentatives for the 113th Congress: RULE 1. REGULAR, ADDITIONAL, AND SPECIAL MEETINGS (a) Regular meetings…

Is it your testimony that Chairman Roe and I and others who have expressed concerns about the NLRB acting right now when their constitutionality is challenged are 'serving the narrow interests of the 1 percent.'

I believe one of the biggest challenges facing our schools and workplaces is the numerous insurance mandates and hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes on employers in the Affordable Care Act.

Thank you for testifying at the Committee on Education and the Workforce's February 5, 2013 hearing entitled, 'Challenges and Opportunities Facing America's Schools and Workplaces.'

I know there are sharp differences on the committee, in the Congress, and across the capital city.

These requirements and penalties likely will raise the cost of coverage and increase financial pressures on employers.
