The Public Record
Scott Gordon Perry is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Republican Party, Perry has been active in various legislative efforts, focusing on issues such as border security and law enforcement funding. He has been vocal about his opposition to policies he perceives as undermining these areas, often criticizing the Democratic Party's stance on immigration and law enforcement.
I appreciate the chairman's remarks, and I certainly live better because satellites exist in space. Unfortunately, I have to live with the fact that the satellites in space are powered by Chinese-made solar panels. When the chairman can…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of subtitle B of title II, add the following: SEC. 227. PROHIBITION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR…
That money is being spent right now on the Taliban and people are dying. Americans don't want this blood on their hands. They don't want to spend their tax money on the Taliban. Yet, 20 years to defeat the Taliban, and they walked away…
Let me speak to that. If there is no funding in here and no authorization for spending any American tax dollars in Afghanistan, then you certainly won't mind an amendment that does nothing.
I hope we can use the GAO report as a baseline to understand the current challenges so we can pass legislation that will meaningfully help the government right-size its portfolio and either use or get rid of unused space.
I have been a firm believer that if agencies aren't using their space, they should lose it.
We have to examine how they are using their space, and there must be more accountability for agencies.
Federal occupancy in the Washington, DC, area alone remains below 50 percent of pre-COVID levels.
Unfortunately, the ongoing telework policies have only exacerbated that problem.
Federal real property continues to be on the GAO's High-Risk List for about 20 years.
We should not be doing things as a Federal Government that inherently increase the cost to the people paying the bill.
This is an issue of fairness across the board. Whatever standard we set should be set for everyone.
Government mandated, so the government requires it. That is freedom in America.
Agencies' actions that remove consumer choice operate on the assumption that Federal Government's unelected class knows best for its citizens.
This is dictatorship--not by the proletarian, but dictatorship by the bureaucracy.
When you hire activists to become bureaucrats, you are going to get none other than bureaucratic activists.
I am not naive. America is involved in a lot of things where I think it is great when we are on the side of who we believe is right, the side of freedom, the side of liberty, against tyranny, against oppression.
When our founding documents say provide for the common defense, provide, that means we are going to make sure it happens and we are going to give, so to speak, the American people whatever it takes to defend them.
If a problem, however dire, has been around for years and years and years, Congress has had a chance to legislate on that problem; and if Congress has decided that it is better not to legislate on that problem, then it is not appropriate…
It's time we look closer at the presidential powers authorized for such declarations that we have allowed to continue indefinitely.
I hope it will be useful for Members to evaluate potential reforms to the NEA, which might be borne out of this hearing on both sides of the aisle.
Look, I do not get what they do not get. China is not like--they didn't mix some batch of something up at the pharmaceutical plant and say, oh, we screwed this up.
