I thank my New York colleague and friend. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 8, which should be more appropriately named the Job Prevention and Recession Protection Act. We always hear talk about tax reform, but the…

In 1972, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Israeli Olympic compound and murdered, in cold blood, 11 Israeli athletes. In the 40 years since, shamefully, the International Olympic Committee has refused to have a minute of silence to…

You could say that Central Asia is the crossroads of the world. It is obviously important.

Neither of the county executives in both Westchester County, which I represent, and Rockland County, which I also represent, both county executives--one Republican, one Democratic--have refused to certify the evacuation plans for Indian…

Indian Point is located obviously by our Nation's largest metropolitan area. It has an operational history that has been plagued by irresponsible acts, unplanned shutdowns, lacking spent fuel pools, and inadequate emergency notification…

The tragic events that happened in Aurora, Colorado just shows us in this country that if we don't have sensible gun control legislation, then shame on us; then we're the fools. Nobody is against Second Amendment rights, and nobody is not…

I have served on this committee for a long time, and one of the things that I really love about this committee is... the bipartisan cooperation that we have had on this committee.

We didn't move as quickly in Central Asia as, perhaps, we should, but I think there are still many, many opportunities for us to cooperate with those countries.

I have toured it. I have been there with your predecessor, Dr. Macfarlane, and I am interested in meeting with you to discuss Indian Point in greater detail and perhaps tour with me and Congresswoman Lowey.

I thank the chairman, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Mulvaney

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), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…

Let me just say very, very briefly, on May 24, 2011, President Obama issued a memorandum on Federal fleet performance that requires all new light-duty vehicles in the Federal fleet to be alternate-fuel vehicles, such as hybrid, electric…

The Affordable Care Act extended the solvency of Medicare, and I just find it very strange that we fought two wars on the credit.

I think there is nothing wrong with physicians wanting to be adequately and fairly reimbursed.

I signed a letter in January asking Commissioner Hamburg to allow the remaining units of Primatene Mist to be sold past the December 31, 2011, deadline.

I thank my friend for yielding to me. I rise in strong opposition to the legislation before us to repeal the Affordable Care Act. I won't support legislation which would allow health insurance companies to deny children access to care…

What frustrates me in conversations about oil dependence are usually dominated by calls to drill more or use less.

I believe we need a game changing way to alter this dynamic.

I think the automobile industry is being quite ungrateful in terms of that they would have been gone if we didn't bail them out.

The cheapest way and most effective way to do this is to allow fuels to compete in every new vehicle sold in the U.S.

Every President for the past 40 years has pledged to free ourselves from the dangers of oil dependence.

We should stop fighting it and we should go with the flow. It will be better for the American consumer, and it will reduce a U.S. need for foreign oil.

If you worked with us, we would work with you. We would modify our bill.

I thank my friend for yielding to me. I rise in strong support of S. 3187, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act of 2012. This is one of these rare occasions these days when Congress is working in a bipartisan manner…

It is time for Congress to tell Turkey to stop.
