Lastly, Republicans are trying to simply sit on some of the domestic funds we agreed to in the bipartisan budget deal in February. For example, in the financial services bill, Republicans are taking $585 million away. If Republicans think…

We have 50-some percent of the people in this country who can't withstand a $500 emergency. Our pension system is collapsing. Our financial aid system is collapsing. We have got to make a decision to reinvest back in this country. And the…

I was just down there last weekend in Orocovis and understanding that, as we talked about just a little earlier, about deterred maintenance and some issues with Puerto Rico themselves have had that were not prepared, if you will.

We appreciate it. And we saw you in action just today with a beautiful speech, and I think it shows the importance of how deep your work goes in connecting ourselves, our democracy, with the world and their leaders.

The Library of Congress is one of my favorite institutions on Capitol Hill.

I think you and I need to do some kind of bipartisan initiative designating Mr. Dodaro as the smartest man we have ever met in our lives on multiple issues.

You play an essential role in helping Congress exercise its oversight responsibilities, not only in pushing government programs to run more efficiently and effectively, rooting out waste, fraud and abuse, but also in keeping an eye on…

So I just want to say thank you to you. And I know your team is at work all the time doing this, and we really appreciate you.

You know, I am not trying to be a jerk, but I am just saying, you know, how are we, in 2018 in the United States of America, and we can't figure out how much savings we can garner from making sure that people have preventative healthcare.

I just got motivated to get reelected a couple more times to make sure I am here for all that.

You demonstrate that you hold yourselves to a higher standard as the elected leaders of our Nation.

No person should show up to work in the Halls of Congress, their government, and be forced to worry that it will be a toxic work environment.

I look forward to learning more today about how this training will be implemented.

How can we expect others to follow our example if we are not willing to fully acknowledge the problem and take concrete steps to address it.

It has become abundantly clear that Congress is no exception to that.

In my opinion, this hearing is going to be one of the most important we will have this year in this committee.

I would defer to Ranking Member Ryan, and he has always made impassioned speeches about the importance of technology and STEM and computer science education for the future of America.

Just appreciate everybody's testimony. And I think the chairman and I have--I think, are very committed to the issue of transparency.

I would just say that for those of us that sit on multiple committees, I can save you a lot of trouble: They all happen at the exact same time, okay.
