The answer was they intended that the Director serve for 5 years Not 5 years and 3 months, not 6 years and 6 months, but 5 years.

We have sent you subpoenas for years, and you fail to comply with those subpoenas.

Have you certified your compliance with our subpoena? Because you have come in and said, 'I have complied.'

I'm sorry. You are over the 5-year time period, which would give you great cause right now to say, 'Listen, I have done my 5 years. I am going to comply with the spirit of my party and the intent of the law. I am going to step down.'

I would prefer we do this publicly. You have a rotting agency.

On March 30, 2017, on rollcall No. 207 on motion to recommit with instructions, I am not recorded. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay.'' On rollcall No. 208 on final passage of H.R. 1431, the EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act…

It is with a heavy heart that I rise today to recognize the loss of four members of our greater-Wausau community. It was last week that four lives were taken from us all too early. Karen Barclay was warm and caring to everyone around her…

We do not oppose the sale of imitation dairy products, but we do oppose their use of dairy terms specified in the Code of Federal Regulations.

On the root driver of the crisis they left it alone, which is concerning for us.

I appreciate the support of the gentleman from Texas and his insight in this amendment. I was a prosecutor in a former life, and we care a lot about due process, making sure that the government can't take something from a private…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add at the end of title III the following: SEC. 318. PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING CERTAIN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The…

I just want to clarify that in the proposed rule there is no requirement for a subpoena. That doesn't exist. Now, they might have told you that they want to reform that rule, but that is not the way the proposed rule stands today. Again…

If the gentleman would yield, is the gentleman saying that if the government just wants highly sensitive and intellectual property they should be able to go in and just ask for it and require it to be delivered?

But highly sensitive intellectual property, we think, similar data, should require a subpoena.

I appreciate the gentleman for yielding. Again, as an American, when the government wants to take very secure intellectual property and data, we do have this belief that they should be able to get a subpoena to access it. Again, we don't…

I thank Chairman Luetkemeyer for all of his work on this bill, H.R. 5143. As we enter into this debate, I think it is important to look at who supports what. If you look at insurers in States like Wisconsin, they have looked at Mr…

I thank Chairman Luetkemeyer for all his hard work on what I think is an excellent bill. It is fascinating to sit in this Chamber and listen to the debate and the fear-mongering that takes place. Before I get into that, let's just take a…

I look forward to working with my good friend, the ranking member. Commonsense reform that looks to your good friends, the regulators, to take a sound look at risk profiles, and then decide what kind of regulatory regime is necessary for…

I thank the gentleman from Mississippi for yielding. Let's be really clear about what this is about. This is about following the law. We negotiate, we vote, we pass laws, the President signs them, and they should be enforced. That is what…

There is no cause and no reason why StemExpress would allegedly shred these documents. We both know on both sides of the aisle--though we may have a disagreement on this issue-- that when this Congress sends a lawful request to an…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona for yielding, and I thank my friends across the aisle for their support of this commonsense piece of legislation that, again, rights a wrong perception from the U.S. Court of Appeals. Mr. Speaker, many of…

Today I rise with a heavy heart and offer condolences for the passing of former Secretary of Defense Mel Laird who served under Richard Nixon. Secretary Laird was well known, among many things, for the drawdown of troops in Vietnam and, to…

I think the better practice would be to wait and let the new Administration come in.
