As Congress takes up World Ocean Day, we are 51 days into a crisis in the gulf where this administration, 1rac{1}{2} ext{ years into this administration, still has not provided the American people with answers as to how will this leak be…

Again as we take up this resolution for World Ocean Day, America has questions for this administration on how they are going to stop this leak, how we are going to protect our oceans and the wildlife, and how this is going to be cleaned…

With all due respect to the gentleman from Oregon, since the Democrats have been in charge of the House for the past 3rac{1}{2} years, if there were any regulatory or legislative issues or resolutions that needed to be passed, certainly…

I support the committee-passed version of H.R. 5136, and particularly by the way that it strengthens our Nation's strategic forces. It endorses an increase in funding for the modernization of our Nation's nuclear deterrence capabilities…

Over the past year-and-a-half the administration and the majority in Congress have enacted legislation authorizing an unprecedented amount of government spending and intervention in private enterprise. I opposed many of these measures…

As we turn on the news networks and we listen about the oil spill in the Gulf, the American people want to know, how could this happen? As Americans read the news about this particular oil platform having had problems over several years…

The administration is saying the what-if is if this country is attacked by someone who is in compliance with the NPT, even if we're attacked with biological or chemical weapons, they would not use everything that we have in our arsenal…

But usually I think and the American people think of the word ``assurance'' being something you give your friends and allies. And, in this instance, this is an assurance that the administration is giving to a nation that would be an…

It's the reality, though, of the issue of defending our Nation. And here this President has said, I won't take anything off the table. I will always do what's necessary to defend the United States. Period. That was last May. And then now…

One, of course, is what they're referring to as the negative assurances where in the Nuclear Posture Review they've included a statement where the President has taken off the table the prospects of using nuclear weapons in defense of this…

Well, here is, I think, the most important thing. You invoked Ronald Reagan and you were saying how you shouldn't answer hypotheticals. I think here is what the blanket statement should be. The blanket statement should be, when it comes to…

It's a very good point. Because those nations that depend upon us, who have not developed nuclear weapons, who believe that they are part of our nuclear umbrella, that they believe that we extend, in cooperative understanding, our…

I think it's also a false accomplishment. When the administration promotes this statement of a world without nuclear weapons, again, it's a human-value statement that I think everyone would wish to be true. But in translating it then to a…

We will have to see what comes out of the conference that the President has held. He was identifying the increase, that threat that we have for nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation issues. And certainly those are the correct issues…

I think one issue that people are concerned about that relates directly to this issue is any limitation on the United States' ability to defend itself in deploying what is a provable, workable technology in missile defense. The START…

While we are debating this bill, Americans are concerned about the pending health care legislation. Americans know that advances in medical research are a strength of the American health care system and should be encouraged instead of…

I am just a bill, and I am sitting here on Capitol Hill waiting for a vote, apparently, unless you're in Nancy Pelosi's House. Unlike in ``School House Rock,'' Nancy Pelosi says that this little guy doesn't need to wait around for a vote…

It is irresponsible for Congress to continue debating an increasingly unpopular and costly health care bill at a time of record-breaking deficits and uncertainty about our economy. We should be focusing on reducing spending and creating…

As the administration begins to finally focus on job creation, they should look to the auto industry. Last year, the Federal Government, at the insistence of the administration, provided a $30 billion bailout to General Motors to create…

It has been almost 4 years (July 28, 2009) since the Government Accountability Office issued a report on Army and Marine Corps Ground Combat Helmet Pads.

Almost 90 percent of the time the mutual funds... are voting with management.

I certainly support that, strongly support that.

I think we have to start with the SEC enhancing its disclosure of compensation arrangements.

I absolutely don't believe it will drive people offshore.

When you take money from a government, you understand it is a whole new rule of game.
