Bob Goodlatte

Then-House Agriculture Nutrition Subcommittee Chairman Bob Goodlatte introduced legislation to move us to the nationwide, interoperable system we have today.

It is easy to make decisions when the Federal Government has to come up with the resources to pay for it.

Unless we reform programs like the SNAP Program, and a number of other entitlement programs, there is going to be a shrinking supply of funds for all of these programs, given the fact that we now have $500 billion to $1 trillion annual…

It is my pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Trott), a member of the Committee on the Judiciary.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I strongly support her amendment. Over the past several decades, the accumulation of unfunded mandates issued by the Federal Government to State and local governments, tribes, and the private…

I urge my colleagues to support this important legislation that continues a very good practice that benefits our Guard and Reserve members. I yield back the balance of my time.

Americans don't believe that their interests are being put front and center when it comes to decisions about whether or not to issue an immigration benefit to a foreign national.

I and many Americans believe that such executive action is unconstitutional. It's a usurpation of Congress' plenary power over immigration law and policy.

I wonder if you could give us a comprehensive description of what it does mean to use open source.

Isn't it true that, with open-source checking, an applicant could simply describe an event that he or she has heard about?

However, notwithstanding pressure from PBMs drug prices continue to rise.

In late July, Chairman Marino, Ranking Member Conyers, Ranking Member Johnson, and I announced a series of Committee hearings focused on competition in the health care marketplace.

I have a couple of news articles, and I know that we don't treat them for the truth of what's always in them, but we have to pay attention to them.

It doesn't make sense to add new gun laws, when we already have hundreds of them that are not being enforced today

I think we'll be vulnerable, too, when it comes to people from Syria, when we can't get access to those databases.

Then why aren't they being prosecuted for those violations related to firearms?

In the case of Syria, you can't go to the government offices in that country. They're in disarray.

We can query our database till the cows come home, but there will be nothing to show up because we have no record on that person.

It is my pleasure to yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Marino), who joins me in offering this amendment.

As we work to promote digital trade, we must work to make sure that the international playing field is fair.
