Well, said. The gentlewoman from California.

As you know, I am the co-chair of the bicameral congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus, along with Congressman Adam Schiff.

We will work to strengthen the law to ensure criminals who operate online are not able to harm U.S. consumers.

It is clear that existing laws are inadequate and we must do more to confront the problem.

For the past 2 years, we've seen the administration and the Environmental Protection Agency take overzealous action in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, with the potential to dramatically affect jobs, the economy, and local government budgets…

I hope the courts will rebuff them again.

the principle purpose of the FCC is to allocate spectrum and to try to find the most efficient way to do that; that spectrum is public property

I think the FCC has been on mission creep for decades now.

it was over 10 years ago that I introduced legislation--probably the first net neutrality legislation introduced in the Congress--along with Congressman Rick Boucher in 1999

I am a States' rights guy, so I would tread lightly there because the Federal Government, in my opinion, should be a limited Federal Government.

We are with you on that, too.

I am kind of sending the shot over the bow that it is really time, after 6 or 8 years, for the industries to get together and sit down and work out their differences on these issues so that we can move patent reform forward.

Politics is the art of the possible.

I also want to tell him how much I enjoyed visiting his congressional district less than 2 weeks ago and visiting the Reagan Presidential Library, which is a fabulous recounting of the life of the man who I think was the greatest President…

I rise in strong support of this legislation, which repeals the sweeping health care reform law rammed through Congress last year. This new law amounts to a Big Government takeover of our health care system, one that will lead to fewer…

I am shocked and saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred Saturday against Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, her staff and members of the Tucson community. Just 2 days before this horrific attack, Gabby joined me and many…

We have consulted with the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress actually maintains a copy of the Constitution which includes those sections that have been superseded by amendment.

I thank the gentleman for his comments, and I take them very much to heart as has our leadership. In fact, in recognition of the gentleman's concern, I mentioned in my comments that only two Members would be recognized out of order to read…

I rise in support of this legislation which requires a detailed report to Congress on the gravesite discrepancies at Arlington National Cemetery, including information concerning burial operations and errors in burials. It is sad that we…

I rise in strong opposition to this legislation. This bill has been around for a long time for good reason. It is a bad bill, having been around for a long time, for this entire Congress, for 2 years, no hearing in the Judiciary Committee…

I rise in opposition to this legislation. H.R. 1586, the State bailout bill, extends many of the same provisions included in the original stimulus bill by increasing taxes and using questionable offsets. It increases taxes on American…

Everyone here is concerned about helping people who are suffering, including New York firefighters and policemen and emergency rescue workers and others affected by this, but I want to point out what Ken Feinberg, the special master of the…

I urge my colleagues to oppose the rule on this legislation that's coming forward. But before we get to the vote on the rule, we're going to have a vote on ordering the previous question, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on ordering…

We have been asking all afternoon, where's the budget? We have even sent out bloodhounds trying to find this budget. Mr. Speaker, in 2006, Congressman Steny Hoyer, who is now the House Majority Leader, was quoted as saying enacting a…

Where is the budget? Congress is expected to agree on a budget for the upcoming fiscal year by April 15. The budget process at the beginning of each year sets the goals regarding total Federal spending for the year. It is the budget that…
