This is an issue that we agree on, and that is what we ought to give local communities more flexibility.

I want to thank you and the committee for holding this very important hearing, and I want to especially thank one of the county commissioners from Hamilton County, Todd Portune.

H.R. 2707, the Clean Water Compliance and Ratepayer Affordability Act of 2013, introduced by Congressman Chabot.

I am committed to that for sure.

As chair of this committee and as a Member of Congress, I would consider myself to be very pro-India, but their attitude on this matter with respect to Russia is very disappointing to say the least.

The way they deal with this is going to be one of the things that I am going to consider very much on whether--how much my support will be.

I wasn't a big fan of the Morsi government and as a Member of Congress and as a former chair of this committee in the last Congress I was, quite frankly, pleased to see Morsi, who I thought was a real danger to the country, removed.

I would just urge the administration to work with any resources we have available to us to push back on that with every fiber that we have as a nation.

It is mind-boggling to think looking back where we are now and how different things probably would have looked had we done something different.

One particular disease that hits close to home is diabetes, which now impacts 885,000 Ohioans and costs $9.3 billion annually.

It is well understood that the NIH plays a critical role in innovation, by collaborating with the private sector, to help advance therapies and technologies for the American people, and SBIR/STTR grants help stimulate that collaboration.

I would like to thank Chairman Graves for holding this installment of the series of hearings on oversight of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs.

The gentleman's time has expired.

I think it is--we have to be very wary of any involvement with Iran.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has become one of the greatest threats to the Middle Eastern region.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio will be postponed. The Clerk will read. The Clerk read as follows: Northern Border…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 51, line 14, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''. Page 59, line 20, after the dollar amount…

Sanctioning entities that do business with Hezbollah is a significant step in our efforts to confront this issue.

Libya has become a magnet for extremists, terrorists to go there.

It has become pretty clear that the so-called moderate Rouhani is just another in a long list of Iranian thugs.

Iran continues to be one of the world's leading abusers of fundamental human rights.

Human Rights Watch says, 'These transparently political charges make it painfully clear that authorities have targeted the Baha'is not for any crime, but because of their religious beliefs.'
