It is an absolute insult to ask any country to negotiate with a terrorist entity that denies their very right to exist.

He is the best they have, and that is why they are exing him out, in my estimation.

Yesterday I came back from a trip to Israel, and I wanted to share with my colleagues some of the things that are going on currently in the Middle East and some of the things that will happen within the next couple of weeks. First of all…

The American people sent us here to work together and are tired of the partisan bickering and the finger- pointing. I think it's very important tonight, as we listen to the President talk about creating jobs, that we work together to work…

I thank my friend from New York for yielding to me. I rise today in opposition to the Budget Control Act amendment. Over the past months, I have been urging for a clean vote to raise the debt ceiling, a vote that has taken place 75 times…

Here we're on the brink of economic disaster and we're wasting time with symbolic political theater at its worst. We want compromise and solutions and to protect Medicare on the Democratic side. Why don't you try working with Democrats…

I thank the gentleman. You know, this is political theater at its worst. This bill has no chance of becoming law. It's extreme. It was put together so that the Speaker could pick up the last two or three votes from the extreme element of…

On rollcall No. 606 I in advertently missed the vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' ____________________

I thank the gentleman. I've listened to this debate for a while now. The American people want us to compromise. The American people are in the middle. That's where most of the American people are. And they don't want extremes from either…

I thank the gentleman. 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 Offered by Mr. Hastings of Washington

How can we expect the FDA to do their job effectively and efficiently while at the same time take away the valuable resources they need to do it?

I rise in strong support of the resolution. I come from the premise that if you want to work out a disagreement, you sit face to face at the negotiating table and negotiate. That's what happened in Ireland, and it should happen in the…

I think it is very important that we remember that this is not a partisan issue.

Drug shortages obviously lead to delays in treatment and force the use of alternative drugs, which can result in unintended consequences.

I find it aggravating, disappointing, and frustrating that this committee has continuously done nothing but take up legislation that would repeal the Affordable Care Act, punish patients, and put the insurance companies back in control of…
