Marshall Sanford

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

I have a small but, I think, perfecting amendment that I think, whether Republican or Democrat, we can agree on. Because I think as Republicans and Democrats, we may have different perspectives on this equation, but we would agree that…

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…

I thank my colleague for doing this. I think it is such an important issue. I think that, as has been mentioned by a couple of speakers now, what is really at play here is a constitutional issue. The Founding Fathers were so emphatically…

I just want to borrow maybe 5 minutes worth of your time just to talk about this issue of Puerto Rico. You have touched on it in different ways. You were talking about constitutional issues just a moment ago, and I want to follow up on…

If the gentleman would yield, and then I will leave it to you. You hit on Luis Fortuno, and I do want to shout out, I worked with him in a former role in government, and you are absolutely correct. What he tried to do, I think, was brave…

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. ____________________

I want to dovetail for one moment on the conversation that was just held by my colleagues from across the aisle. I think that they have been courageous. I think about Sam Farr and I think about Barbara Lee, and what they have pushed for…

I rise as a fiscal hawk. I rise as one who believes passionately in the issue of the debt and the deficit and government spending, but one who believes that we can't pretend our way to fixing those problems and that the first part of…

I will say to the chairman from Kentucky that I am absolutely sympathetic in the way that he and others in the leadership are really caught between a rock and a hard place. If you think about 100 members of the defense community saying…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think that there is one fundamental question in this debate, and that is: Should a child be trapped in a school that traps them? Should a child be trapped in a school that, for whatever reason, isn't…

I thank the gentlewoman. Madam Speaker, my colleague from Maryland made the comment just a moment ago of the ``responsibility caucus,'' that he would like to see more of that. What I would submit to everybody in this Chamber is that…

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?

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

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

I too rise in opposition to the so-called Iran nuclear accord. I do so for all the reasons that have been well- articulated over the last couple of hours. But I also do so based simply on the reason of history. And it is a history that is…

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. Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, I move to strike the last word…

Again, I respect the Solomon's wisdom that would be required by the chairman and others on the committee in dividing the different interests, and that is why I think the Founding Fathers had it right. They said that, ultimately, nobody in…

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 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.

In just a moment, I will request a moment of silence, but before I do, I stand here with other Members of the South Carolina delegation to say our colleague Jim Clyburn, who right now is back home visiting with aggrieved families on the…

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.
