The changes in principles we put in will maximize sustainable development, protect and restore the functions of natural systems.

The proposed Freight Rail Innovation Institute aligns with these principles given its efforts to expand the use of rail freight, accelerate the reduction of national greenhouse gas emissions, extend the life of our roadway networks, and…

This is a new technology that they intend to dominate and not allow the United States to be the world leader.

This partnership presents a unique opportunity to positively impact our environment, improve the economic future of the Pittsburgh region while also increasing the competitiveness of the nation's infrastructure.

Our region is not the Pittsburgh of 30 years ago, but it is a community that welcomes, embraces and invests in green energy and sustainability.

When this guy was the president he had more power and, therefore, more responsibility than anyone else in the world, definitely anyone else in the United States, and he didn’t use it to protect us.

My personal opinion is these people shouldn't have run for Congress if they were so afraid to walk on the House floor without their guns because they're not allowed to bring them on the House floor.

We know that that attack today it didn't materialize out of nowhere. It was inspired by lies, the same lies that you're hearing in this room tonight. And the members who are repeating those lies should be ashamed of themselves. Their…

The threats we are facing are very specific. I don't want anyone watching at home to think like we're just sort of imagining that things can be bad.

We want this government to work more than they want it to fail. And after everything that's happened today, we want that more than ever.

I wanted to layout all this evidence, Madam Speaker because I thought it was a sign of respect for my colleagues, for all of the Americans out there who don't know who to trust.

Because to do this with any kind of honesty means admitting and declaring in this House that these objections don't not deserve an ounce of respect. Not an ounce.

That attack today, it didn't materialize out of nowhere. It was inspired by lies, the same lies that you're hearing in this room tonight and the members who are repeating those lies should be ashamed of themselves, their constituents…

The fact is, at the end of the day, it hurts. It hurts them; it hurts this country. It hurts all of us. But the fact is that the people have made this country work by not giving in. Go ahead. Shout it out. One last thing to say, Madam…

I came here tonight prepared to talk about the place I represent and how well the Democratic and Republican county officials ran our election. I wanted to point out that in my home county of Allegheny County, in the place they were…

For the last 2\1/2\ years, I have been a member of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs; and during that time, one of the things I have seen is the way that our veterans service organizations, particularly the American Legion, the VFW…

If I would have come before this House in 2005 and said to my colleagues, ``I have a policy proposal. It will create hundreds of thousands of jobs in parts of the country that have lost them. It will help free us from wars in the Middle…

I want to thank the chairwoman for bringing this bill to the floor. Madam Speaker, I come from western Pennsylvania, home of the first oil well, home of coal and steel, home of the first nuclear power plant, home of the fracking…

I thank the chairman for his hard work bringing us this bipartisan, bicameral compromise that will get things done for our Nation's veterans. Madam Speaker, my contributions to today's bill are sort of a mix of old and new. We are…

Others before me have said why it matters that we have working locks and dams. It has always mattered. The United States has more miles of navigable rivers, lakes, and canals than anywhere else in the world. It made us who we are as a…

I know a steel company in western Pennsylvania that makes compressors and turbines. They compete against General Electric, but they have found a way to survive as a hometown company that pays a union wage. Yet we tax this company. We tax…

A Senator said yesterday he would let local governments go bankrupt. And while he said that, our local county executive was busy loading food into people's cars. Cars that had toolboxes and work boots in them, and people who were…

I know a firefighter who is going into sick people's homes still today with no mask. We all talk like this is war, but did George Marshall, a western Pennsylvanian, wait for U.S. Steel to join the U.S. war effort in their own good time…

I thank my colleague for yielding. I thank my colleague from Kansas for his excellent support and work on this bill, as well. People often ask me when I go home to western Pennsylvania whether we ever knock off all the fighting down here…
