Tim Scott

Thank you, sir. For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time…

I would certainly love to hear a single case, a single specific comment, a single specific fact to undergird your comments, I would say to my friend from Massachusetts. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Tennessee, John Duncan.

Letter, dated September 14, 2011, from Hon. Tim Scott, a Representative in Congress from the State of South Carolina, to Mr. Upton, submitted by Mr. Gardner.

When we are talking about the return on investment of the $900 million that South Carolina invested--not gave or spent, but invested--in Boeing, is it unprecedented for us to reserve a return on investment of $14 for every $1 invested.

I would like to see the President get out there and talk about when you do things that cause CEOs of businesses to not want to come to States, this hurts union States more than right-to-work States.

So you are fully aware of the fact that employees of the Boeing plant decided to start a union. But yet, even though all your comments were just brought to our attention, you did nothing to stop them from having the exercise of their…

Thank you, Congressman. May I ask the Governor just a couple of questions real quick?

It's an attack on the employees who appreciate the fact that they have jobs to go to.

This needs to be the last time we deal with this.

It's an attack on our employers in this country that are trying to keep business in America.

From a competitive perspective, is it not good to have dual locations perhaps?

It is really hard for us to digest the fact that 1,000 employees and a $1 billion investment in the second location has anything to do with not the loss of, but the actual creation of more jobs at the first location.

So we can't really agree on the definition of transfer or assets or tangible or intangible.

If you tell a great American company like Boeing that they cannot create jobs in South Carolina, all you are doing is incentivizing those companies to go overseas.

If your case is built on the fact that Boeing transferred assets from one location to another location that never existed at the first location, it is really difficult for us to digest that we are actually having a real conversation about…

This rule lets the House work its will, without any question. You have a choice. Take the opportunity. Vote your conscience. This is a place where we are confident and not nervous, but we want to close in a bipartisan way because there's…

Our friends on the left continue to call House resolutions frivolous and meaningless. My good friend Mr. McGovern himself just last term had House Resolution 278, Global Securities Priorities Resolution. The fact of the matter is the House…

Just one clarification: The concurrent resolution, H. Con. Res. 51, does not become law. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson).

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Slaughter), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…

Every single day Americans are asking, Where are the jobs? The answer is simple. Current regulations are destroying jobs. Last year alone, government regulations cost businesses more than $1.7 trillion. As an example, this chart…

The vulnerabilities identified in the inspections need to be addressed for your site security plan to be approved.

There is a significant cost to doing this.

A quarter of a billion dollars, $250 million dollars since 2002.

There is a significant cost to upgrading security across the business.
