I just don't find it acceptable the scientific community kind of gives it the shrug.

This type of response is designed to delay and stymie congressional oversight on behalf of the American people and this committee will not stand for that.

I just find this astonishing.

We all deserve better.

We are all in this together, and we want to work on that.

We want that to be facilitated. We have too many lives at stake and the concerns of many families and Americans.

I know this is a frightening aspect for Americans. Look, we understand privacy, but if there is some child predator hiding in the bushes by the playground watching to snatch a victim, you can find them. But now, if this has given them this…

It is time to begin a new chapter in this battle, one which I hope can ultimately bring some resolution to the war.

democracy is not a spectator sport. So it is time for all of us to participate.

We want to work with you. And I am pleased you are here today.

We are meeting today to consider the deceptively complex question: Should the government have the ability to lawfully access encrypted technology and communications?

We are here today at the Oversights and Investigations hearing on unlawful reinsurance payments to examine the transitional reinsurance program established under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

This is just the latest in a long line of examples of the administration breaking its own signature law in an attempt to prop it up.

CMS changed its position to prioritize payments to insurers. Essentially, CMS ruled that the Treasury doesn't get any money until the insurers get paid.

I don't give a darn what your lawyers say if they are wrong.

I hope that he will pledge to return CMS' first, lawful interpretation of the reinsurance program and allocate funds to Treasury as required by law.

Congress puts up these laws, we have regulations. It doesn't happen.

This is the tale of two cities--not the tale about the cities, but about two examples of America's great embarrassment and failure to treat a brain disease called mental illness, especially serious mental illness. It is also a tale of…

I thank the gentleman for his comments and his dedication to this issue. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer), who has been absolutely steadfast in his compassion and caring for this. Also, it shows a…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, what the gentleman is referring to is also something called assisted outpatient treatment. That is a program whereby 45 States and the District of Columbia--maybe 46 States now--have this. When people…

I thank the gentleman from Oregon, and truly my friend. I think when people look at Congress and wonder if people can work on issues in a bipartisan way, I am sure if someone looked at our voting record on other issues, we would probably…

Right and I agree. I have seen many a child over the years, and I know how important this is.

It's a problem because the Clean Power Plan you're working on is unconstitutional.

We need 100,000, because people with an acute phase of psychotic break need a place to go besides a five-point tie down in an emergency room or being put in jail or being sent to the county morgue.

And so where we are now, we don't have the capacity and you're asking Congress for help because we just don't have the capacity to handle this.
