I would rather be supporting Egypt in their democracy building institutions than taking any actions that will be viewed not only by Egypt, but by others in the region as condoning a crackdown.

It is clear they are going forward with a referendum and probably annexation under the barrel of a gun and that more sanctions are going to be necessary.

the solution to this is not to try to distinguish too finely among different classes of applicants but really to get this cap lifted and get on with the program.

I want to raise the question with you about a report that in our Bill last year we required of your agency regarding the economic feasibility of the deployment of flight recorders that would eject when an airplane crashes and would float…

Congress must act. I am going to be urging the committee to include report language to this effect.

I think it has been outstanding; but I am gravely concerned that they are not only going after the Muslim brotherhood, but also jailing the secular opposition, jailing journalists, embarking on a campaign of deifying the new military…

It is money well spent.

Congress has a longstanding interest in this technology.

I raised this with Secretary Foxx; I am raising it with you. We have enough to go on here I think to conduct that analysis and get it turned around quickly.

Yes, it does show what could be done if a kind of ideological rigidity around here were to be relaxed and we were to have a more adequate budget.

I am also wary of the proposed transfer of the funding and responsibility for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program from FEMA to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

I think that a mandate of this sort is very unwise. I have made this very clear.

I am disappointed that this budget does propose a reduction in these programs.

I hope, of course, that an individual will soon be nominated to be the director of ICE.

I want to particularly register my concerns with the proposed cuts to FEMA grants and to the Coast Guard's acquisition budget.

Your budget request is for $8.1 billion in discretionary funding. That is a cut of $364 million, as you know, or 4.5 percent from your current year appropriation.

Just consider the economic benefit of one NIH supported research initiative.

The work supported by NIH saved my life as it has saved countless other lives.

Every dollar that goes to NIH grants results in $2.21 of local economic growth.

We need to do something about turning more young people into positive paths in our society.

Many have called human trafficking the slavery issue of our time and ending this insidious criminal activity will require the same doggedness that Wilberforce exhibited.

The bill also provides nearly $14.25 million for grants to help victims of trafficking and $67 million for missing and exploited children programs.

I think it was a question of political correctness and nobody wanted to say anything.

we can do so much more to get young people headed in the right direction before they ever get themselves in any kinds of untoward circumstances.

this administration has tracked down and delivered justice to terrorists, and I think that's been acknowledged.
