We make policy here in Congress. Here in Washington, there are a lot of people who make policy.

It's one of the reasons why I've been a big believer in and an advocate for legislation that would help provide clarity on drone regulation.

We're witnessing a technological revolution. It's very significant. I think it's going to soon be the case we'll look back at what we're experiencing today and realize that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Currently about $36 million.

Many hundreds of political appointees currently work there.

Would you object to an amendment of the federal False Claims Act, the qui tam provisions, and allow things like that to be brought by citizens in such a way that we define the United States to include Puerto Rico.

But it doesn't take a biologist to see that a Whitefish does not swim alone.

If we do not start exercising meaningful oversight over every dollar spent on every contract signed in the territories, particularly with regard to these entities, we could be looking at decades of ongoing problems and even more dire…

In our current tax reform debate, there is a stark contrast of opinions about some of the major concepts being considered.

So in light of that fact, why would it make sense for us to put them on two different tracks...

It's, rather, how Congress can best establish a regulatory framework, one that encourages and facilitates the development of life-saving technology.

Automation is inevitable, and I think it would be neither wise nor appropriate nor necessary for Congress to stifle the advancement of this technology.

American consumers and businesses benefit tremendously from the ability to buy and sell across borders and gain access to products and to customers.

U.S. firms have been pioneers and global leaders on the digital technology frontier.
