Congress needs to pass good bipartisan energy legislation, and they need to do it by the start of the summer driving season.

We are reducing our nuclear weapons stockpile to the lowest level consistent with America's national security and our commitments to friends and allies.

America clearly needs legislation that expands the use of ethanol and biodiesel, promotes energy conservation, invests in advanced technologies like clean coal and nuclear power.

We've asked Congress to set a new mandatory – I repeat, mandatory – fuel standard that requires 35 billion gallons of renewable and other alternative fuels in 2017.

Hopefully this research and development in a relatively quick period will come up with… different alternative sources for ethanol.

I would hope that Congress would move expeditiously on our plan to reduce gasoline usage by 20 percent over the next 10 years.

I set an ambitious goal in my State of the Union: to cut America's gasoline usage by 20 percent over the next 10 years.

Requiring Intelligence Officials To Apply For Court Orders Before Collecting Foreign Intelligence From Overseas Targets Would Make Our Nation Less Safe.

Allowing this law to lapse would open gaps in our intelligence and increase the danger to our country.

The fact is, private industry must remain an essential partner in law enforcement and national security.

The vital authorities to surveil overseas targets under the PAA will expire in less than two months, and Congress must act to keep our Nation safe by making these provisions permanent.

Our intelligence professionals need these tools to keep our people safe, and they need Congress to ensure that these tools are not taken away.

Our troops on the frontlines get the funding they need.

We are on the path to a balanced budget, and that's where we intend to stay.

They deserve action.

Laura and I are saddened by the death of Representative Julia Carson.

Now is not the time to raise taxes on the American people.

It is time for Congress to provide our troops with actual funding.

Julia was a dedicated and admired public servant who will be missed by her many friends and colleagues.

The stakes are high for our men and women on the frontlines.

She was revered as a champion for building strong and safe communities.

Stopping irresponsible spending increases doesn't add to the deficit – it cuts the deficit.

Congress must move quickly to pass legislation to protect middle class families from the burden of the Alternative Minimum Tax, without raising taxes.

The U.S. contribution to the MNF is approximately 159,529 U.S. military personnel.

Steroids have sullied the game, and players and the owners must take the Mitchell report seriously.
