Jason Chaffetz

Look, I introduced the SHIELD Act with Congressman DeFazio in a bipartisan way.

One of the assertions that he said is that we have to be careful that we are protecting the little guy so that they have some resources and the ability to go after some of the big boys. But then we also have to make sure that there is some…

I think, clearly, with the one example of Mr. Gerst's testimony, we have exemplified the idea that there is a major problem here. It is a Federal problem. It is something that can be remedied. It is something that must be addressed.

I, along with Representative Richmond and Lowey, introduced H.R. 1455.

It cost taxpayers 46 percent more to use contract screeners at Rochester International Airport in 2012.

The Government Accountability Office recently reported that TSA's evaluation of contract screeners are insufficient.

I feel that memories of that day and the lessons learned have begun to fade.

I believe we need to give a close examination of how TSA is defining what constitutes risk.

I look forward to hearing from all the witnesses we have here today.

I wholeheartedly endorse your concept of unifying our Trusted Traveler programs into one well-branded, simple-to-understand entry program.

Violence, the realism in games and movies.

I have no additional speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.

At this time, I would like to yield such time as he may consume to the original sponsor of this bill, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe).

I have no additional speakers, but I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I would like to yield such time as he may consume to the distinguished gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Yoder), one of the cosponsors of the bill.

Letter to The Honorable Jason Chaffetz, a Member of Congress from the State of Utah from Basic Research.

I believe that the 801(b) standard, what this bill is suggesting that we would move toward, would be the more fair opportunity for those to have this discussion.

To their credit, under the leadership of Chairman Sensenbrenner, Conyers and Smith, this Committee began the process of seeking to modernize and bring some order to aspects of our music licensing system that have been slow to adapt.

The focus of the discussion today will be legislation introduced by Congressman Jason Chaffetz, H.R. 6480, the 'Internet Radio Freedom Act.'

It was a terrorist attack on a U.S. asset in Libya and it was never exposed.

The environment in Libya was fragile at best, and could degrade quickly.

We have a moral imperative to pursue this. We have four dead Americans.

I believe personally with more assets, more resources, just meeting the minimum standards, we could have and should have saved the life of Ambassador Stevens and the other people that were there.

This is not an environment where posts should be directed to normalize operations and reduce security resources in accordance with artificial timelines.
