I am disappointed to say, however, that although the chairman claims we are pursuing this investigation on a 'bipartisan basis,' that has simply not been the case.

Our military intervention led to greater instability in Libya.

The president of Mexico saying this is wonderful; that will help guns on the border.

If you were worried about guns at the border, then let's make it a federal crime to traffic guns.

The notion that people in Washington, the leadership of the Department approved the use of those tactics in Fast and Furious is simply incorrect.

Let's ban assault weapons that aren't used to do anything but kill people.

Reserving the right to object, are we apportioning that 5 minutes from each side?

What are we arguing about in terms of that?

I think it was a good idea to get some standards to clean that up.

Eighty-six percent they are a necessary part of a modern economy. Eighty-four percent say they support food safety standards.

The notion of putting it under an umbrella that regulations are killing our economy, they are killing our job creators. That is total nonsense

I think there should be rules and regulations, and I would bet that everybody on this panel thinks that there ought to be some standards.

What I sort of do object to, Mr. Chairman, is that we have a spray of six people in six different industries.

I think we all understand that there is a tension, natural tension between a consumer and a producer.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank all of you for your testimony.

We are just pro-business in the traditional sense of the word, not taking taxpayer money and giving it to people who have close connections with the White House.
