NAA has supported the tax certificate and some other proposals that the MMTC has put forward to increase diversity of ownership.

I want to associate myself with the very thoughtful comments of Mr. Deutch.

It would be ironic if, after all of this and a so-called Arab Spring and all of this tumult, what ends up emerging in Egypt is a fairly pro-Western, autocratic leader that isn't very fond of the rule of law or human rights.

You were elected by the people to represent them. You ought to get about the business of doing it. I am sick and tired of this.

What we are doing here today isn't about oversight; it is about finding excuses. It is about making up reasons to delay actions. It is a disservice to the American public that expects and deserves better.

I urge all Members to sign on, especially my Republican colleagues, for whom this is a chance to stand up for American jobs and businesses by rejecting the vocal right wing of your party that I really don't believe reflects the values…

The best way to predict future behavior is to look at past behavior.

A comprehensive solution is what we need, something that will advance our Country's values and will honor our history as a Nation of immigrants.

It is up to us in Congress to appropriately weigh those costs and other factors when we are crafting laws.

Without immigration reform, our current immigration laws impose huge fiscal and economic costs.

In fact, according to a White House report, the bipartisan Senate immigration bill would have spurred Pennsylvania's economy and created approximately 15,780 new jobs and generated $64 million for Pennsylvania.

Thanks to the ACA, millions of young adults... have been able to stay on their parents health plan.

The ACA has also reduced the number of uninsured people across our Country.

The ACA seems to be working and continues to benefit millions of Americans.

Secretary Kerry, would you please commit to me and to Congress that these funds will be released by the State Department, and the United States will continue to play a strong and active role in the Northern Ireland peace situation?

It is utterly ridiculous in 2015 that American citizens are still fighting for the right to vote.

I would like to say I believe it is a misallocation of time, money, and committee resources to combat a voting problem that is practically non-existent.

I am deeply concerned that this latest effort is merely yet another attempt in this long-going campaign, especially by those countries, not the United States, but other countries in Europe and elsewhere that are otherwise allies of the U.S.

I really disagree with the view that if Congress were to act and make clear what sanctions would be in the event these negotiations fail, I disagree that that would somehow be irresponsible.

I have a difficult time understanding the logic that if Congress were to act and say not sanctions today, but sanctions by a date certain if negotiations were to fail, that somehow that is unreasonable.

George Mitchell, who successfully negotiated the Good Friday agreement in Belfast, talked about the importance of having a deadline for those negotiations.
