I will be blunt--everyone testified that they have job openings that they have difficulty filling in today's advanced manufacturing because of the lack of middle-skilled workers.

If the United States cannot supply the type of labor needed to fill these good jobs, these companies may choose to operate in a nation that can.

if we can't trust the administration to create and run a Web site, how can we trust them with the big issues of running our healthcare?

This bill restores that trust. We have insurance commissioners in every State to which the administration has not communicated with.

No law is ever perfect, and often, Congress needs to act in order to modernize, clarify or reduce burdens.

I believe that when Congress is considering legislation that adds new layers of regulation to an industry, we must be precise and careful.

I want to thank the gentlemen from Virginia, Messrs. Moran and Wolf, for their effort, but also for personally coming up to me and asking me to be an early advocate of this very important bill. Like them, I have many constituents who are…

The evidence is very clear that ObamaCare is actually hurting people. In the last week, I've heard from several constituents like Mike, Jim, and Kathleen who told me that they recently received their notice that they no longer have their…

Thank you for being here today as we mark 5 years of jobs and economic benefits that have been denied by this administration's refusal to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.

According to President Obama's own State Department's analysis, the Keystone XL pipeline will create over 42,000 jobs.

I believe the operative words here are 'so far', because there is still the northern route of the Keystone XL to be approved and built.

Now, according to President Obama's own State Department analysis, the Keystone XL pipeline will create over 42,000 jobs.

does the EPA believe that it has the legal authority to eliminate coal as a fuel for nuclear electrical generation?

Yes, I can assure you. I agree with the gentlelady that it should include both benefits and costs, as we have suggested. And I do want to state that I appreciate working with you. And you have shown great collegiality as well in our…

I yield myself as much time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2052, the Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2013. Now, we recently saw the latest job numbers. While somewhat positive, the reality is that we…

Having the right to close, I am going to reserve the balance of my time and allow them to finish their time, if they have any.

I withdraw my request for a recorded vote on amendment No. 24. The Acting CHAIR. The request for a recorded vote on amendment No. 24 is withdrawn, and the amendment stands adopted in accordance with the previous voice vote thereon…

I believe that when foreign companies want to initiate or expand their manufacturing footprint in the U.S., it is good for our long-term economic success.

A trade agreement with the European Union should in many ways be a common sense policy for the United States.

T-TIP represents a historic opportunity for both sides to create greater openness, transparency and convergence in regulatory approaches and standards.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 126, line 21, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $1,000,000,000)''. Page 134, after the…

TTIP represents a historic opportunity for both sides to create greater openness, transparency, and convergence in regulatory approaches and standards.

I rise because of 650,000 people in my district; 4,400 employees who serve at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska are being used as political footballs. Programs like the section 526 that we just heard the gentleman from Louisiana discuss…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 157, after line 2, add the following new section: Sec. 10002. None of the funds made available by this…

The issue before us is will you vote ``yes'' for our civilian employees working on the base or will you vote ``no,'' which says I support the waste, fraud, and abuse in this fund. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The…
