I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, in my work on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I have spent an awful lot of my time on these types of issues. I think there is much we can say about this bill, but at the end…

Yesterday, President Obama issued an executive memorandum that could turn into one of the most far-reaching and devastating environmental regulations in history. This document, which holds the same weight as an executive order, aims to…

I would like to thank the gentlewoman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I come from a family of educators. My father taught me in fifth grade. My brother and sister are both teachers. My wife is a teacher. One of my sons recently spent 2…

I think this is absolutely nuts. Yesterday the House and the Senate sent the President the National Defense Authorization bill requesting his signature, which he has now threatened to veto. I was an Air Force pilot for 14 years, and I sit…

I sit by an American hero, my friend, Sam Johnson, to recognize three American heroes in my own hometown: a brave police officer and two sisters, Bre and Kaylie Lasley. Last week, a man broke into their house and began to viciously attack…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for that gracious introduction. Mr. Speaker, this agreement is deeply, deeply flawed; and when you talk to our friends across the aisle, in moments of honesty, they will admit that it is deeply flawed. This is the…

Today I rise to celebrate Piute County's 150th birthday. Piute County was formed in January 1865, after a year of hard work by entrepreneurial Mormon pioneers. Press reported that in only 1 year the settlers had built more than 4 miles of…

I am proud to join my home State of Utah in celebrating Pioneer Day. In a world that seems to be filled with strife and confusion, I am proud to take a moment to celebrate something positive. On July 24, 1847, Brigham Young led a…

I want to take a moment to recognize one of my own constituents, Phillip Burr, from Burrville, Utah. Phillip has dedicated his career to providing electricity to rural Utah while working for one of my favorite companies, Garkane Energy. He…

We very much want to maintain our commitment to the recreational experience in national parks and on public lands.

What we have here is something that, unfortunately, we see time and again, especially in the West. The Federal Government in Washington forcing a one-size-fits-all directive on the American people.

I would like to thank my friend, Mr. MacArthur. I now recognize another friend, someone who I have come to respect tremendously from the tireless work that she does on the House Committee on Armed Services and has become a leader among her…

I am honored tonight to lead this Special Order on what is one of the most critical issues facing our Nation in generations. Now, I know that sounds dramatic and that it sounds like it is a statement that is just designed to capture…

Thank you, Mr. Williams. I can't let the moment pass without reemphasizing something you said: Don't do stupid stuff. Is it stupid to trust Iran? Is it stupid to negotiate an agreement that is fatally flawed? And I have deep concerns about…

Thank you, Mr. Ross, for your comments tonight and for your defense of these concerns that we have. I would ask the question, to emphasize something that you said, sir: Why is Iran building ICBMs? As Charles Krauthammer pointed out in the…

Thank you, Dr. Wenstrup. So we conclude our time tonight. Do you sense, do you understand, those of you who are listening and watching, do you see that we have legitimate and deeply-held concerns about the direction that this…

I thank Mr. Pittenger for his remarks and for the great work that he does as the chairman of the Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare. I have to interject here for just a moment something that others have alluded to as well…

Mrs. Walorski and the other speakers bring up many good points. Let me emphasize just a few of them if I could. The New York Times reported just last week that the IAEA said Iran was still refusing to answer questions regarding its…

I mean, all politics are local, and this is particularly true of this committee.

Senior administration officials, including the President himself, have said climate change is the greatest threat that we face.

We believe that we have to have a much more aggressive approach to that than what we have seen so far.

There has been a supplemental draft EIS that has been here in D.C. for more than a year, which is far too long.

I know a little bit about national security, I think.

We are just asking for the process as it is outlined by regulations and by law to work, and right now it is not.

We have made more progress in 8 months than we have made in 20 years.
