Why not go back to the simple core of that which contributes to the Highway Trust Fund gets money from the Highway Trust Fund? Why wouldn't that be a sensible idea?

I was delayed for votes on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, as the train I was on ended up being delayed by two and a half hours, and as a consequence, I arrived half an hour late and missed votes. Had I been present, I would have voted in the…

I rise reluctantly in opposition to this bill based on my admiration for you as a chair and for your work--the committee's work, frankly--in, I think, instituting a great bill that has important forms in projecting force around the world…

I thank the chairman. I thank not only the chairman but I thank the gentleman from Florida for his hard work on this important measure because my dad used to say that at times in life it is important to call an ace an ace. And I think…

I mean, how do you say to that family in Mississippi who has been struggling to make it, our entitlement system is based in paying for the whole of your life...

If this thing is as virulent as some folks suggest, why in the world of quarantine are we going to let people fly from that part of the world?

I admire your courage, your humanity, your leadership in terms of just walking in without glove in hand.

If, in fact, it is not as lethal and it could be handled by health care professionals rather than cranking up C-17s and sending them across the Atlantic, why not have health care professionals do it rather than $750 million?

What I am hearing back home is that people are really concerned about the disconnect between what they see and what they hear.

I would like to support this bill. I believe in energy independence, as do the people I represent at home, and accordingly am supportive of opening up these offshore areas--but I do not think this should occur without the concurrence and…

If we are a Nation of laws and not men, there is a belief that it ought to be fairly transparent at times where we are coming from.

I think from a civil liberties standpoint, that is what drives a lot of people crazy about these different lists that are kept by the Government.

First off, I would just say thank you to Chairman McKeon for his work and for the leadership's work and, indeed, for providing this time for debate. As was just stated by my colleague from Texas, I don't think that there is a more sacred…

I asked for money to help pay for our efforts to step up our border security, and we didn't get help.

I thank the gentleman from North Carolina for his leadership on the subcommittee. I would say the same to my colleague from Louisiana, for their respective pieces of work on this important bill. As has already been noted by both of my…

All that could be said has been said, and with that, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4803, the TSA Office of Inspection Accountability Act of 2014, sponsored by the Gentleman…

I think one of the things that the American public is thirsting for is the same kind of decisiveness and reality they see in the military in a perimeter that isn't breached on the Southern Border.

It strikes me that you could have the greatest technology in the world but if you didn't have appropriate and proper human infrastructure to manage that technology, you would still have a very, very serious, even gaping security hole.

I thank the chairman. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this bill. I would just like to thank, indeed, the chairman and the members of the committee for their great work on it. At the end of the day, it represents expanded choice in…

I thank my colleague. I rise in respectful opposition to the CBC budget for the reasons that my colleague from California just enumerated. I have listened to this debate over the last few minutes, and the Ryan budget has been called a…

I join in support of this bill not just because it is about amendments and the importance of public input, but ultimately because it is about two central tenets that the Founding Fathers laid out that I think are important to both…

What the GAO said was basically the program that we spent $1 billion on, and we have over 3,000 officers enlisted in, isn't working; that it is not effective; it hadn't produced results.

I think that there is a real civil liberty component to what is going on here that I think is a real challenge.

the whole idea of spending $1 billion and having 3,000 folks employed in this endeavor while, you know, from a statistical standpoint the results are about 50/50, seems to be not a good use of taxpayer money.

I thank the chairman. I thank him and the other members of the committee for their work on this important bill, because it is certainly about cost. I mean, you can't do anything efficiently if you have got a 15-year permitting process. It…
