I want to share with you my impressions. I have been to Israel 15 times, but that was the first time that I had ever gone to that little border town and met the people, heard what they had to say, but I did. I am glad that I had the…

Of course, Hamas' charter says exactly that, that Israel does not have a right to exist. They refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist. So if Israel doesn't exist then the Israelis don't exist, and they can do anything they want in…

I'm going to urge defeat of this amendment. And before I yield back the balance of my time, I want to reiterate that I represent one of the faster growing areas in the country. If we are forced to rely strictly on formula funding for…

I don't know a public servant who has devoted more of his life to this country, his State and his community than Senator Harry Reid. Now, I can't account for everything this man has ever said, but to get on the floor of the House of…

Reclaiming my time, while I don't want to turn Congress into a mutual admiration society, let me thank the chairman for helping make this compromise a reality. I know that he must have been working very late into the night last night. This…

Well, I want to thank you, Chairman Buyer, thank you for coming to Las Vegas and feeling my pain by the end of the day and appreciating how seriously impacted my veterans are. I can assure you that I will do everything I can to urge the…

While it makes no sense that Wendover and West Wendover should be separated, it also makes no sense in this country not to provide a prescription medication benefit within Medicare.

I think it is equally important to the people in Wendover and West Wendover as we are improving their economy to also be discussing the very serious situation of a prescription medication benefit in Medicare.

I believe, Madam Speaker, that one person can make a difference; and I believe that all of us serving in Congress, united, speaking with one voice, will make a significant difference to the people of Afghanistan. If we sit back and do…

I strongly support this airline security compromise... Aviation security is national security. With the passage of this bill, we enhance our national security and protect all Americans.

Well, if I can share something with my colleague for one half a minute more, Las Vegas has not been known as a cultural Mecca; however, with the addition of the Beloagio Art Museum I can tell him that it has added significantly to our…

I grew up in Las Vegas. My family moved there 38 years ago, and I have two wonderful children that are also growing up in Las Vegas. When I first moved to town, Las Vegas was a destination where many families did not think of coming. But…

With the help of the gentleman from North Carolina, and hopefully with the help of those across the aisle, we can work together in a bipartisan way to make sure that all of these children in our great country have the same opportunities…
