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

should this trade agreement be completed, it will have a dynamic effect on the economies of all nations concerned.

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…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Nebraska will be postponed. {time} 1745 Amendment No. 25 Offered by Mr. Poe of Texas The…

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

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…

It has been frustrating to just hear the same old entrenched, 'you are either in or you are out,' 'nothing needs to be fixed,' 'it is either totally right or totally wrong.'

So in the event that our personal data becomes exposed, we need to be able to trust that the companies in possession of our data will notify us of the exposure.

Consumers should have the peace of mind that their data is protected in a responsible way.

I think federal preemption is important but I don't think you should undermine strong consumer protections that are currently held and enjoyed at the State level.

I appreciate everyone joining us for today's hearing which will focus on a very timely issue: how India's trade policies are affecting U.S. companies and the broader impact these policies may have on the American economy.

Unfortunately, after all this progress, we are starting to see significant and worrisome policies-particularly those related to intellectual property-being adopted by the Indian government over the past two years.

Well, I thank you, my friend from Arkansas. It's too bad that the E in EPA now means ``espionage'' because the EPA rents airplanes and videotapes from the air farmers and ranchers and feedlots in their daily activities without any reason…

I have focused on natural gas as an energy transportation fuel, and I appreciated your comment in your written statement that domestic natural gas production over the past 5 years has helped contribute to market-led reductions in carbon…

The Terry amendment requests that none of the funds made available by this act, including the funds made available for the Construction and Major Projects account, be used to increase funding for any major medical facility project that is…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the following new section: Sec. 419. None of the funds made available…

I believe that the best way to grow our economy is by nurturing an environment where organic job growth is possible.

It is time we start listening to these folks and what they are telling us.

I reserve the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman form California has 1 minute remaining.

I yield myself as much time as I may consume. A couple of points just so we get the total picture here. We consume, in America, about 18 million barrels of oil per day. That's what we consume domestically. We've reduced that from 20 a…

Will the gentleman yield on that point? Mr. DeFAZIO. No, I'm sorry, I don't have enough time. We would just deem that pipelines anywhere and everywhere met national interest, public safety, and that. I also raised the point earlier that…

There are two realities here. Number one is that on the process of obtaining the bitumen, the crude that comes and will be put into the pipeline, that process is becoming more efficient all the time and decreasing its carbon footprint. But…

The point of those is to study the impacts, if there is a spill, to not only the soil, the ecosystem, but the Ogallala Aquifer as well. Three different studies have dealt with that. All have scientifically concluded that there is…

I appreciate the gentleman from Tennessee bringing this amendment, and I appreciate all of the time and effort that the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has put into this. I would agree that it's reasonable; the Governors should…

We interpreted that requesting that information could be used as a tool to further delay it. That's how we've reached that conclusion. They've used so many things to delay this already that we're just suspicious that this would be another…
