Eliot Engel

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

I think they are exing Fayyad out anyway. I don't think he is long for this world, and I think he thinks he is not long for this government.

I also met with Fayyad, who said to me that he thinks the Palestinians going to the U.N. is the stupidest thing that they could possibly do.

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

I think it tosses out Resolution 242.

By going to the U.N., the Palestinians are in the process of tossing aside the Oslo process.

I think that the Palestinians going to the U.N., the way I see it, sets back the cause of peace or a two-state solution for years and years, maybe even decades.

Let me first say that when the President of the United States talks about settlements or '67 lines, it is not helpful at all.

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…

It is my sad duty to report the passing of a former officer of this House, doorkeeper James T. Molloy. Jim, as he was known to so many, served as doorkeeper for 20 years, when I first came to Congress from 1974 to 1994. He was known…

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

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…

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

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

I would think it is important that we need to know.

If we allow the purchase of insurance policies across state lines, why wouldn't employers look to purchase insurance on the basis of the least cost to them and not on the basis of whether it will adequately provide coverage or payments to…

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…

I am very concerned that we are holding this hearing today to discuss H.R. 371, legislation that would facilitate the purchase of insurance coverage across state lines.

I really believe that this plant should be shut down. I really do, and so most of the members of Congress that have districts right across from the plant.

I am not against nuclear power, but I think that is an antiquated plant located near New York City.

They had 6 years of control of the House, Senate and White House and provided no leadership on this issue.
