There is no value in having a Nexus card if you have to stay in the standard line.

This program, the Nexus program, can be a win-win, because obviously it expedites the free flow and the quick passage.

We are hearing anecdotal stories about wait times that I think are detrimental to the economic back and forth between Canada and Vermont.

This is an unbelievable rip-off, obviously, and it is incredibly detrimental to large businesses and to small non-profits.

The folks who have the card are starting to get a little frustrated. That is detrimental to our businesses and to them.

They got attacked by patent trolls. They are in no position to do it.

The Web site must be fixed, you've been very forthright, and you're going to fix it.

There was an election where the American people affirmed it.

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, part of this rule is addressing the debt ceiling. This Congress put the American people and our economy through the spectacle of 16 days of shutdown, with the culmination being the actual threat that we…

It's not about whether we should take away the right of our kids up to age 26 to be on health care.

what policy decisions would change carrier incentives to invest in rural areas and are there regulations that are imposing unnecessary costs that are hindering any of that investment?

I oppose this legislation. Much has been said this morning about how 4 million people will lose the safety net of food stamps. This is going to derail the effort to pass a farm bill, and America needs a farm bill. But, you know, the bottom…

But my concern, too, is that we have got to look out for the consumers. It is really getting out of hand.

The thing I hear from Vermonters, they are really getting squeezed on the cost of cable and satellite.

The comments are about the fact that the technology has so outpaced the regulation or the law.

We have got to get the law right; we have got to get the regulations right.

I thank the gentleman. I thank my colleague for this extremely important amendment. Madam Chair, we have a dire situation in Syria, and everyone's heart breaks for the suffering of the Syrian people. Over 100,000 people are getting…

Afghanistan is now, after 11 years, ripping us off as we try to bring our material home. Does anybody on the either side of the aisle support this? Why don't we have a debate? I admire Speaker Boehner for saying he wants to have this House…

I thank the gentleman. I also thank my colleague from Florida. I appreciate the courtesy that the Rules Committee extended to Mr. Gibson and me last evening when we offered our amendment on Syria. Mr. Speaker, my moment here is to discuss…
