David Price

I thank my colleague for yielding and for scheduling this Special Order here on our first night back in town for the very important purpose of paying tribute to our dear friend and colleague, Howard Coble. I am very happy to join in this…

I thank the dean of our delegation, Howard Coble, for yielding, and I want to add to his words of introduction for our new colleague, Alma Adams. She was elected this past election to fill the unexpired term of our colleague Mel Watt, who…

I thank my colleague for yielding and for his leadership in offering this motion to instruct conferees. Mr. Speaker, our Nation has a sacred obligation to provide for those who served and sacrificed for this country. Just as the military…

I submit a clarification of my vote during consideration of H.R. 4745, the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015. I fully intended to continue my strong support of the Housing for…

I want to join with Mr. Quigley, Ms. Duckworth, Ms. Waters, and other colleagues to call attention to the abysmally low funding contained in this bill for the TIGER program and to the need to increase and multiply this investment for the…

I thank my friend for yielding. Madam Chair, I rise in strong opposition to these efforts to target the funding for the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences directorate (SBE). The world is changing…

David Price, Congressman David Price in response to this accident, March 12th, introduced a new bill. He wants to reintroduce the safe act, which meant you're going to take these and eject them when the aircraft hits the ground.

The LCS is the rare military program that has seen cost decrease instead of increase over time.

Failing to produce all 52 Littoral Combat Ships would significantly reduce the size of our fleet.

Reducing the ships in the LCS program in fiscal year 2015 through fiscal year 2017 is simply a bad idea.

The LCS is a fast, versatile, fuel-efficient, and highly capable ship.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving the peace.

I know that there was a time when Ronald Reagan said we ought to have 600 ships and 15 aircraft carriers.

I am concerned that the political uncertainty surrounding how many, if any, U.S. forces will be left in Afghanistan at the end of 2014 will destroy all the work that the United States has done to build the Afghan's aviation capacity and…

People around the world, our allies and adversaries, are watching to see how we answer these questions.

But I don't think we ought to kid ourselves, I think numbers still matter.

So it seems to me that you have got to figure out how we are doing all this counting.

As we sit here today, 20,000 Russian troops are sitting on the border of Ukraine, and it is not beyond our imagination that we are going to be needing to kill tanks sometime in the future.

I have seen the number 43 percent of the requests that are made by the combatant commanders actually have requirements met.

If we withdraw from the world's stage, we would leave a vacuum that others, others whose interests do not necessarily align with ours, are all too eager to fill.

Frankly, that troubles me, coming as I do from a State that suffered so much loss on September 11th, 2001.

I do think it is time to move ahead on this. And, you know, it surely wouldn't take too many searches like the one we are undertaking now.

We certainly didn't expect to have the need for this underscored quite so dramatically quite so soon.

I previously introduced legislation, along with Representative Duncan of Tennessee, the SAFE Act, which would require the installation of a second backup set of deployable flight data and cockpit voice recorders on new commercial passenger…

Seems obvious to me what that cost benefit analysis of yours is going to show.
