I do believe that technology acquisition by TSA is an area ripe for more robust transparency and accountability.

The American people sent us here to get solutions and so that is why it is important to me that we work together.

I thank my colleague, Mr. Speaker. It's an honor to be here tonight. I'm a new Member of Congress. I was elected just last year. I ran for Congress the first time I had ever run for office because I want to come up here and fight for…

It is very important to me that this be a bipartisan process, that, you know, we are looking for solutions.

I would love to address this war on coal a little bit more. I just think it's outrageous that the President of the United States' advisors say that the President wants a war on coal. You know, we ought to have a war on gas prices. We ought…

How much time do I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from North Carolina has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I think that the statement that stakeholders were involved in the front end is not factual.

I rise amongst a broad bipartisan coalition to oppose this misguided amendment offered by my colleague from Minnesota. Mr. Chairman, facts are a stubborn thing. The National Guard has reiterated time and time again the immense value of…

I think it has been said, the essence of America's greatness is our goodness.

Yesterday, the Committee on Education and the Workforce heard testimony from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Despite a mountain of facts to the contrary, she told the committee that the concerns employers have with…

As chair of the House Transportation Security Subcommittee, I want to raise my concern about a delay in finalizing a rule to improve the security of FAA-approved domestic and foreign repair stations. This rulemaking, mandated by Congress…
