The economic growth and productivity gains that come from broadband being deployed in communities that don't otherwise have access to it, that has to be kept in mind and focused as the objective for budgeting.

What I would offer is that so much of what you just described those challenges--they lie in the province of the states and how they deploy 9-1-1, and then the FCC and its role in overseeing how that works.

This is the kind of commitment we need if we want to address these problems.

I think this legislation could go a long way to accomplishing many of our shared goals.

Thank you, Madam Chairman. So, for purposes of bringing all of this under one roof or putting it in one place, then having an inventory of the resources that are being spent right now is vitally important.

I would like to commend you on what I think is a--one of the most productive hearings we have had.

I appreciate that. I am running out of time. I just would say, I think, particularly as the Pentagon finalizes its response to the White House directive on a review of the industrial base, it might be useful for Congress, I think, to do…

With the few seconds that I have left, I would just say, to extend the football metaphor, perhaps to the point of absurdity, our defense doesn't even get on the field. We keep drawing pick six after pick six; therefore, allowing…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Subparagraph (A) of section 1252(c)(2) is amended by adding at the end the following: (vii) The abuse of…

It is hard for me to make sense of Syria without somehow getting the Turks to play a more productive role.

I pressed my luck with time.

I perceive there to be, at least among leadership in key Sunni Muslim countries, a closer relationship between this administration and the last.

I do think the overseas communities are important too, it is hard to get the data on exactly how foreign communities react to U.S. domestic policies.

I stood in this very spot about 1 year ago urging Congress to do the work of the American people, the work they sent us here to do. I introduced a piece of legislation called the Do Your Job Act, which is simple. It would not allow…

We have got to bring CFIUS up to date.

I just would be interested in what inspired that move.

For what it is worth, in my neck of the woods, there is no such thing.

I think we all want the same thing, right? We want to, as you have laid out, preserve the defense industrial base.

This is a great day for children, for vulnerable populations, and caregivers in my home State of Wisconsin and across this country. {time} 1800 H. Res. 443 recognizes the importance of trauma-informed care to individual wellness, the…

I think that is a mistake in this case. I understand that loose lips can sink ships, but non-existent strategic communications can sink entire navies.

I salute you for bringing that to light, and I hope we can echo that, particularly in the context of negotiations we are having right now.

I don't often make these 1-minute speeches, but I am concerned about where we might we headed next week in terms of the budget. Last week, the House took another weeklong break instead of staying here in order to talk about fulfilling our…

As we destroy the caliphate in the Middle East, foreign fighters and terrorist sympathizers have fled the battlefield and are looking for new ways to spread their hatred, recruit new followers, instill fear, kill innocent people, and…

I just feel like this is the time where we got to come together, and I think we can.

I don't think we can afford another CR, and so I think we have to make a stand over the next month.
