We should all share the same goal of doing everything we can for patients fighting to save their lives and I have no doubt that the intentions of everyone in this room are good.

The primary purpose of our Right to Try Act is to give brave patients across this country some choice over their own destinies when all other avenues are closed.

This Right to Try legislation simply establishes the freedom for patients and their doctors to try therapies where the benefits far outweigh the risks.

A Federal Right to Try law would prevent the Government from blocking access to potentially lifesaving medications.

A bill that was unanimously passed by the Senate--unanimously passed by the Senate--will offer them a chance to extend their lives.

It is my hope that we can come together with Federal regulators and industry leaders to clear the path forward to care for those who are fighting just for a shot at living.

We can never truly thank our Nation's veterans enough for their service and their sacrifice. But the work of the members, past and present, of the Washington Crossing National Cemetery Honor Guard is an example we should all follow…

I, once again, urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3284, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 636, line 17, after the dollar amount insert the following: ``(increased by $25,600,000)''. Page 681…

With my limited time, I just want to say Brendan said it well. He has done a fabulous job working with Congressman Meehan and me, all of whom have districts that have been impacted by this real tragedy, and I stand in full support. I urge…

Would it make sense for us to tie funding and assistance to measurable anticorruption objectives?

What we found both in that Bureau and in the Prosecutor General's Office was that the corruption was really systemic at the higher levels.

To say that the corruption issues in that country are systemic would be an understatement.

As an FBI agent one of my international assignments was in Kyiv, in the Embassy there, working anticorruption.

Thank you for being a good leader. More importantly, thank you for being a good person.

Brendan's legislation is outstanding. It is critically important.

I want to thank you for your support for Israel.

These young men have shown us what success can look like on the baseball field, and I am confident that they will succeed in all of their future endeavors, continuing to make all of us in Bucks County proud. ____________________

We're dealing with a deeply entrenched, deeply engrained system that's been perpetuated for a long time. So, is it easy to change? No. But can we? Of course, we can. We just have to have the will to do it. We need enough good people on…

If there is anything this committee can do to assist please let us know because it's very important.

Unfortunately, terrorism is no longer a regional threat. It is a global threat.

I think that would be a good idea.

It is good that we are increasing the budget for DHS this year. That is definitely needed.

If there is one thing that keeps me awake at night it is the Visa Waiver program.

The second, introduced by Rep. Fitzpatrick, Rep. Murphy, and Chairman Knight, the 'Small Business Payment for Performance Act of 2017' offers our contractors the ability to continue work without fear of withheld payments for change orders.
