I ask that you pass a farm bill that protects and strengthens programs like TEFAP, SNAP, and CSFP.

Chairman Kline, Congressman DesJarlais, our community colleges were born out of service to provide opportunities and education for our citizens.

If that person then passes it to a foreign government intentionally knowing that the foreign government is interested in it, then I think that, too, should be a crime.

I think the fact that it was classified, that the individual knew it was classified, and disclosed it without some kind of formal authority, that ought to be prosecuted.

That still, in my mind, is a crime, but the motive and the purpose gets a little bit more complicated there because they may genuinely believe that it is a mistake that this particular issue is not being discussed.

I think we are all, at least most of us are agreeing that simply the fact that it has got a classification stamp on it should not be sufficient to send somebody to jail for 25 years.

We oppose it from the tops of our heads to the bottoms of our feet for the reasons that Chairman Bair has stated.

the concentration of financial power and a lack of transparency are not in the long-term interests of our financial system, our economic system or our democracy.
