Yes or no, Mr. Secretary. I am out of time.

It will not take lightly any form of retribution or roadblock to getting these veterans what they deserve.

I am tired, and am weary of hearing apologies, and broken promises. I want it fixed.

I can assure you that the O&I Investigation Subcommittee is not going to lay this down.

Reforming VA's Flawed Fiduciary System

No honest American should stomach fraud in a program designed to help our wounded warriors.

These veterans want to use their talents to lead meaningful lives despite their condition.

I strongly believe that veterans are the segment of society that most deserves our sincere gratitude and assistance.

I am grateful to the brave men and women who have and continue to serve our Country.

These frauds take precious program dollars away from service-disabled veterans.

President Obama's activist EPA is at it again. This destructive agency, in advancing the administration's war on coal, is forcing the closure of six coal-fired power plants in three States. Just a few weeks ago, it was announced that the…

I do have one follow-on question. You know, I made the transition from active duty then as a small business owner myself and then into corporate America as an executive.

I thank my colleague for yielding, and it's great to be here with so many of them who also believe in not only the Keystone pipeline but that America can attain energy independence and security. When the President came into office…

Today, I rise in support of legislation that I sponsored, the World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011. This legislation directs the Secretary of the Interior to install at the World War II Memorial a suitable plaque or an inscription with…

May I ask if the minority bill manager has any additional speakers? We do not.

With that, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Fortenberry). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Johnson) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1022. The…

Here is the simple truth: the Obama administration is driven by a far left liberal ideology rather than the facts. This administration says it wants to put America back to work, but through its policies is doing the exact opposite. For…

It's amazing, Mr. Speaker. Those that now claim that we're opposed to increasing the sales tax holiday for 1 year actually voted against it just a few weeks ago, but we're here today to make sure that taxes on 160 million Americans don't…

It's time for President Obama and Harry Reid's do-nothing Senate to work with House Republicans to get America back to work. To date, House Republicans have passed 28 jobs bills, most recently the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation…

Can you explain how employment service staff will provide retraining and VRE applicants' names to the VA?

Do you have a time frame to--to resolve that?

This hearing will come to order.
