Give me one example where you have enforced current law that prohibits jurisdictions from claiming sanctuary status.

What are you doing to discourage jurisdictions from claiming sanctuary status?

What are you doing to discourage municipalities from asserting sanctuary status?

I support the amendment sponsored by Representative Barbara Comstock, chair of the Subcommittee on Research and Technology of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and the subcommittee's ranking minority member, Dan Lipinski…

I appreciate both your and the Ranking Member's thoughtful comments today.

I am prepared to close if the gentleman from Virginia has no more speakers.

First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Beyer for his generous comments. It has been nice working together with him on this particular bill. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Virginia (Mrs. Comstock), who happens to be the chair of…

Ongoing, productive research and development is crucial to protect our country and its people.

A country that has lost control of its border has lost control of its future.

This is not sound science; it is science fiction.

it appears that their claims are nothing more than political rhetoric.

If any other organization relied upon a single study involving six out of 31 people, it would be laughable.

The Obama administration cannot continue to claim that it prioritizes Mars exploration if it refuses to prioritize and support the programs that will get us there.

The READ Act is a step in the right direction to help those with dyslexia.

But if we change the way we approach this subject, we can turn that disability into an opportunity for a brighter and more productive future.

Together, we champion an increased public awareness of dyslexia, which affects an estimated 8.5 million schoolchildren.

I think we're a little bit ahead of the curve or we're certainly ahead of a number of other states because of legislation that has been passed, and we mandate the recognition of dyslexia in our school districts.

And the logical conclusion is, if we could have helped them earlier, we may not have had the kind of problems that they've exemplified later in life.

Too many children undiagnosed with dyslexia have difficulties in the classroom and sometimes drop out of school.

The search for life in the Universe is a priority of NASA and the U.S. scientific community.

Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.

I thank my colleague from Pennsylvania and fellow member of the Judiciary Committee for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I oppose this amendment. The social cost of carbon is a flawed concept that should play no role in the environmental…
