A 1-year delay will not undo this damage. I want to know why, after repeated assurances that everything was on track and that no more deadlines would be missed, that the Administration has taken this action.

What we are learning from the IRS investigations is our agents apparently are spending all their time pursuing political agendas rather than enforcement of our current law.

the public has an awareness there was a false claim, and they want to redeem now that false claim

I would encourage my friends to open their eyes to the political activity of the Administration.

The time has expired.

I would like to thank Vice Chair Klobuchar for choosing the topic of today's hearing, 'Building Job Opportunities for Veterans.'

This 1-year reprieve does not solve the problems of local businesses struggling to comply with ObamaCare.

It is time for the Administration to explain to the American people why it's acceptable to grant this delay, while at the same time taking no action whatsoever to provide any relief from the individual mandate.

My prediction is this, that the ObamaCare statute, the Affordable Care Act as it has been enacted is unsustainable.

Just to set the record straight, Republicans are for health reform.

I do not want to call out Mr. McDermott but he said on the 4th of July, he did not spend his 4th of July worrying about the announcement and the changes, well, I did, as a business owner, I worked on the 4th of July.

The employer mandate is a flawed provision that has resulted in lost jobs, fewer hours and a loss of wages, while doing nothing at all to make health insurance more affordable--which is what individuals, employers and workers want and need.

The claim that the Administration has been starved just has no basis in fact.

This is a delay in the reporting requirement. This does not change the law one iota.

For patients, families and their children, you have to wonder. If ObamaCare is not ready for business, is it ready for my family?

What we want, as Mr. Nunes said, is we want to see health care improved, but we have got a far different vision.

the Obama Administration's recent decision to delay the information reporting requirements and penalties associated with the employer mandate in the Affordable Care Act until 2015.

I yield 1 minute to the chairman of the committee, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Hastings).

Thank you, Chairman Hastings. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. DeFAZIO. I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Oregon is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Chairman, at the end of the…

Our Nation is in the middle of an exciting energy revolution, but we will never truly reach energy security as long as 85 percent of our offshore areas remain off limits to oil and gas manufacturers. Chairman Hastings' Offshore Energy and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 8, before the period insert ``, and shall include and consider all such subdivisions in any…

This is a commonsense amendment that helps us responsibly develop our traditional energy sources for more jobs, more revenue to help balance this budget, and more affordable energy for America. I urge my colleagues' support, and I yield…

I reserve the balance of my time. I am ready to close whenever the ranking member is. Mr. DeFAZIO. As I pointed out earlier in the debate, yes, the chairman is correct, it does take time, and there are 5,484 leases, 30 million acres…

This report is a sham. I would call it a whitewash, but it is too thin and unsubstantial to even meet that description.

Who initiated the targeting of conservative organizations for extra scrutiny based on their political beliefs?
