Making a family who lost their husband and father in the line of duty whole should not be a partisan issue, yet, to date, not a single Republican Member has co-sponsored Representative Brownley's legislation.

And to paraphrase one of my colleagues, Congress doesn't pass suggestions, Congress doesn't pass things that we hope will happen. Congress passes laws.

I have grave concerns about the proposed deactivation of the 440th Airlift Wing located at Pope Army Airfield contained in the President's budget. The 440th is absolutely critical to conducting the kind of training that both airborne and…

I am extremely concerned and upset about the cost, overall cost, and the delays of the new Department of Homeland Security headquarters.

I have talked to business owners every day who are overwhelmed by the magnitude of the federal government.

We need to make sure the industry is not burdened with unnecessary regulations that are impossible to comply with.

I thank the gentlelady. Mr. Speaker, I will tell you that my colleague from Missouri has been a true leader in Congress. It is a real honor to serve with you, and I thank you for your leadership, particularly on this important issue…

The nuclear deal agreed upon with Iran is shameful. There is no better example of this than Iran's announcement just days after the agreement was reached to open a new nuclear weapon plant that is not even subject to IAEA inspection. Any…

I am concerned that TSA will continue to spin its wheels with this program instead of developing a more effective and efficient approach.

I have been inundated with calls and mail from my constituents who are deeply concerned about the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Given the bicameral and bipartisan support for our bill and the overwhelming consensus about the systemic risk created by the section we are working to reform today, I am genuinely surprised we are even here debating this today…

I want to applaud the Lumbee Recognition bill which my colleague, Senator Burr, has introduced in the Senate.

Justice delayed is justice denied!

It is time to say 'yes'--yes to dignity and respect; yes to fundamental fairness; yes to decency; yes to honor; yes to federal recognition!

It has been 8 days since the government shut down. The postal service is still running. Social Security and unemployment checks are being processed. Citizens can get passports and food stamps, and certain groups that have the right…

I rise this evening to join my colleagues to voice my strongest opposition to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty currently before the United Nations. First and foremost, by signing this overreaching treaty, the administration is…

I recently heard a story about one of our wounded soldiers being forced to participate in a lengthy and uncomfortable security screening at the airport. I immediately contacted the head of the TSA to express my outrage and disappointment…

Reports that cases of employee misconduct have increased by nearly 30 percent over the past 3 years do little to instill confidence in an agency that is already fighting an uphill battle.

It is critically important that as TSA moves toward a more concentrated and agile screening process, it also focuses in quality over quantity of its screening personnel.

As a cosponsor of this amendment, I rise to speak in support of eliminating the Essential Air Service program. I thank my colleague from California (Mr. McClintock) for his work on this amendment. Another Californian once said, ``There's…

Would you agree that such a drastic change should warrant some time for public comment?

On rollcall No. 365, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''

I appreciate my colleague pointing out some of the legislation that the Judiciary Committee has already passed because I think it is important to understand that the House of Representatives is taking a different approach when it comes to…

Well, I'm happy to jump in. I thank my colleague from Colorado for giving us this opportunity. I think the problem is just the general distrust in the way Washington does things, and you only have to look at the process we just went…

This bipartisan legislation would address a fundamental problem--TSA's broken acquisition process.
