This is the second time this House has voted on supplemental funding this year. It is time the Senate take up this legislation and give some peace to American communities and our citizens living in devastation. I urge swift passage of this…

I strongly urge you to provide the highest funding possible for Army Corps accounts, so that we can propel Everglades restoration projects ahead.

Thank you for your dogged efforts on trying to reach a reasonable solution for our country on spent nuclear fuels.

Thank you very much. And Congressman Upton, I want to thank you for your leadership on many Great Lakes issues.

Could you explain to me, why is the information from the U.S. Postal Service not sufficient to provide you with your base maps?

I guess my question is, how are you linking to the national organizations or state organizations that these individuals belong to?

This is deeply concerning, because the 2020 Census will help guide the allocation of more than $880 billion in federal funds for the next decade.

I want you to know that article I, section 9 of the Constitution designates the Congress with the power of the purse.

I am deeply disappointed that Secretary Ross declined to appear before us as part of his job.

It has been a long time, I have been in this Congress working for two states for two people.

American support for Israel is not a Democratic issue, it is not a Republican issue, it is an American issue.

We are a great nation and great nations pay their bills.

The Israel-United States relationship must remain bipartisan in my judgment.

I want to thank you for joining us today. We are happy to place your full testimony into the record.

Fortunately, Congress responded with a resounding and bipartisan rejection of the administration's proposals.

The democracy, development, diplomacy, humanitarian, and security assistance programs funded in this bill are critical to maintaining U.S. global leadership, protecting our national security and promoting economic growth.

I want to make sure we take whatever legislative steps necessary to make our State Department, USAID and other foreign affairs agencies modern, efficient, and effective.

We know it is a battle, but we have to win.

The education of girls has been a key priority for us, and I would really appreciate the opportunity to do more.
