What we are talking about is defense sequestration. The American people think of sequestration and think of reduced spending.

Thank you very much, Dr. Heck.

Families report that dollar caps under the Autism Demonstration and the ABA Pilot prevent them from accessing recommended treatment services.

I would like to begin by acknowledging the remarkable military and civilian medical professionals who provide extraordinary care to our service members and their families.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee, Military Personnel Subcommittee.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel outlined a proposal yesterday calling for a troop reduction that will shrink our Army to its smallest size since World War II began in 1939. This decision is sad proof that the President's priorities will…

Why are the enrollment and authorization requirements for the ABA Pilot more burdensome than authorizations under the Autism Demonstration and the TRICARE Basic program?

A weekend editorial by The Washington Times stated: The unemployment rate fell in January, which ought to be good news. But it isn't. Over the past decade, we have fallen into a strange and puzzling wonderland of opposites, where…

I object to the vote on the ground that a quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not present. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8, rule XX, further proceedings on this question will be postponed…

For more than 1,960 days, the President has refused to approve the construction of the Keystone pipeline. The President has incorrectly blamed the delay on harmful environmental impacts, but last week, the State Department released a study…

I think that, you know, the price that we paid has to mean something and the sacrifice that these people made... has to mean something at the end of the day and we should do as much as we can.

I'm very concerned about the Christian community. You know, the Christian community has been slaughtered.

Last Tuesday, I hosted a town hall by telephone with constituents to hear their expectations for the President's State of the Union address. The overwhelming message was clear: we must repeal and replace the government health care takeover…

That is the message that I would take back to the American population and to remind them that this is not going to end tomorrow, it is not going to end next week, that we have to prepare for a very, very long struggle.

the demonstrators in Tehran in Iran, the state sponsor of terrorism, mean what they say.

the President...was in a situation of wishful thinking that Al Qaeda was being diminished.

I remember being told that we could not win against communism, that it was the wave of the future, and so we did, and thanks to the American military we have a greater spread of democracy today than in the history of the world.

the American people need to remember that Al Qaeda declared war on the American people in 1996.

I believe we can maintain a proper balance between religious accommodations, which will promote military readiness, unit cohesion, and good order and discipline.

This evening, I am glad to hear the President will deliver the State of the Union address focused on optimism. Optimism requires he changes his disastrous policies destroying jobs, as revealed by the record number of food stamp recipients…

I appreciate your being here, but you can tell the Members of Congress are vitally interested.

I think it confirms what you said, that the chaplaincy is an essential component of military service.

What in the world are we thinking that they want to deal with us and cut back on their nuclear weapon development?

I think we need to be very careful as a Nation before we begin to provide relief from sanctions.

I disagree with that strongly, particularly since the nature of this deal seems to not understand their nuclear weapon program.
