Marshall Sanford

In the confusion that marked this night, I did not hear the second vote (rollcall 338) and missed the vote. I would have voted ``yes.'' Stated against:

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina will be postponed. Amendment No. 22 Offered by Mr. Buck The Acting CHAIR. It…

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 the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. 10003. None of the funds made…

I very, very much appreciate what the chairman pointed out. Again, that is why I think it is so important to simply codify this notion that we won't go forward. The money is in there for administration of existing loans. It is just saying…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina will be postponed. Amendment No. 18 Offered by Mr. Thornberry The Acting…

I would say this: in essence, we already have outsourced this. I think the question about the maritime security fleet is that it is currently run by a foreign-flagged fleet of vessels. If I am not mistaken, it is almost exclusively run by…

May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from South Carolina has 3 minutes remaining.

Edward Gibbon wrote a book back in 1776 about the fall of the Romans. In it, he harkens back to the fall of Greece and the Athenians. He said, at the end of the day, in the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. They…

There is no price worth the fear this reckless idea would strike in the hearts of the people of my State.

How am I to tell these companies that they will be sharing an address with the most heinous and dangerous terrorists on Earth, that the city that they chose to call home is now going to be one of the most high-profile terrorist targets in…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 2, after line 17, insert the following: (c) Consultation With Taxpayer Advocate.--In developing the…

If it is good enough for the United States military to trust change on that front, why shouldn't it be good enough for the rest of the country, from the standpoint of looking at security?

I think it's appropriate to praise the administration when they get it right and condemn them when I think they got it wrong.

It would be wrong for us, especially on our watch, to let another country become the gold standard

I thank the gentleman from Georgia, and I thank him for the way he highlighted great action from folks there at home. I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

How do we get to a place that is minimally invasive, with regard to unmanned, and how do we get to a place that keeps Government out of involvement as much as possible?

Government regulation control and other inhibits that innovation that I think is vital, ultimately, to American competitiveness.

The unmanned is the--if it is not the future of flight, it is certainly the next frontier of flight.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: limitation on use of funds for oil and gas lease sale…

I think I personally, maybe I stand very clear when I stood beside the governor and said the flag ought to come down. I put out a statement to that same effect. That's what I think.

I think it would be appropriate before you go into a debate on guns, racial balance, racial violence, I mean, the flag, you name it, to first mourn loss.

For all these different reasons, we need to stop and pause, not necessarily to bring troops home, but, as has been suggested by others, to force a debate on Congress' role. This is something Republicans and Democrats ought to equally care…

I remember reading in National Review, James Buckley, who is by no means a liberal, saying the war is lost.

I think it is the most legalistic of stretches to define navigable water as an intermittent stream that might flood once every couple of years.
