Thank you, Congressman Kelly. I appreciate this. It is an honor to be here with you, and it is an honor to be setting the record straight. You know, I spent a couple minutes in here listening to my colleagues about what we are not doing…

I heard a little bit ago when my colleagues on the other side of the aisle were talking about ObamaCare, and they said that Republicans tried to repeal it over 40 times; and that is true, we did. We tried to fix it, with no help from the…

I am going to hit on two areas here for a moment and ask the American people to get more involved, to call your Representatives, to call your Senators, demand from them that we get legislation passed through both Houses, or at least the…

If this were not nauseating, it would be hilarious. There are millions of people out of work, Mr. Speaker, millions of people who are losing their health care and millions more whose health care is increasing. There are 230 pieces of…

this administration who talks a good job about creating jobs, but could create 20,000 jobs instantly if they signed--if the President signed to have the Keystone XL Pipeline go into effect.

I don't want to see the Federal Government--Federal Government, we've seen what the Federal Government has done over the past 4 years. It's put us $18 trillion into debt, so the less Federal Government in my life the better, but we do need…

I don't want to see the American people, I don't want to see the people in Pennsylvania have to pay a higher price for their gas.

I have children, and how dare someone who opposes gas drilling say that I would jeopardize my children's health.

Earlier this week, our friends on the other side of the Capitol, the Democrats, burned the midnight oil in a strange effort to call attention to global warming. Unfortunately, for some of our friends in the Senate, hot air from the Chamber…

I am looking toward the industry. I am having some faith, for the time being, in the industry and the providers to come up with methods.

I hear dozens and dozens of war stories from creators who have come to personally see me and they have shared their nightmares with me.

I can't believe you cannot. I think we can.

The President has shown a complete disregard for the rule of law. Rather than upholding and enforcing the laws as written by Congress, President Obama has decided to rewrite them however it pleases him. The United States Constitution, to…

I am really one that does not want the Federal Government to get involved in what it is involved in now.

Just to highlight some construction that has taken place in the past before we had all this regulation: San Francisco Bay Bridge construction started July 9, 1933, and the bridge opened up on November 12, 1936. Chesapeake Bay Bridge…

With all due respect to my colleague with whom we have worked closely on several matters on several committees, Mr. Chairman, the American people desperately need new jobs. Just this week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that…

I am just going to close on this thought here. My colleague on the other side says that 4\1/2\ years is just simply not enough time to go through the permitting and licensing project. Just think about this: ask the people in the private…

I yield myself the remainder of the time, Mr. Chairman. You know, Mr. Chairman, to bring about real and durable job recovery, there can be only one conclusion about what the House can do today, and it should vote to pass the RAPID Act. My…

``Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great interests, and see whether we also, in our day and generation, may not perform something worthy to be remembered,'' words…

I am very displeased with what is taking place in the executive branch.

Particularly in the--on the continent of Africa we have a tremendous capability there if we, as we say back in Pennsylvania, play our cards right.

China is a very wealthy country. It has wrapped its arms around capitalism and loves it. Still a dictatorship, a brutal country.

if and until communism is defeated in China, there is no answer to the solution.

I am stealing from you.

Do you think that I should be charged criminally?
