Crushing America's economy to reduce the CO2 levels by 2/10 of 1 percent is an abuse of his presidential authority.

I think we can agree that the CO2 levels are undeniably increasing and some scientists and climatologists have concluded that their energy models reflect that CO2 levels coincide with temperature increases.

Most experts believe by 2083, and 70 years, the benefits of climate change will still outweigh the harm.

The Administration is working now on a new global initiative, exporting uncertainty.

One of the biggest moral responsibilities of the United States should be to help emerging nations come out of poverty.

This President must not prevent people around the globe from obtaining affordable, dependable energy.

Can you tell me, if the Congress has acted this way, what authority do you have just to deem away an act of Congress that we are not going to do this, that we are not going to proceed?

If we don't advance this, are they going to be reimbursed? Or what did the State of Michigan get for the $600 million that the taxpayers spent at Yucca Mountain?

But they have spent 600 million and it hasn't happened yet, so what happens with the amount of money that has already been expended?

Are you telling me that if this decision goes in our favor or it goes in the favor of Yucca Mountain, all of the investment we have made, will the President uphold that or is this going to be another DOMA, Immigration, and the Employer…

the question you were asked several times now, the gentleman from Georgia was asking it; I heard Chairman Upton from Michigan raise the same question and using his numbers because I don't know what they are for West Virginia, but when he…

He hasn't followed the law. That is the problem. He hasn't followed the law in other----

I just think I am with you more than you realize, but I am also wondering how often we get to maybe hysteria levels on some things.

This common sense legislation would ensure the wellbeing of veterans who have fallen on hard times and are in the most need of assistance.

Those of us who work to achieve building safety at both the state and local level appreciate the concern that this bill has for the welfare of our veterans who are living in housing subsidized by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

I have seen lack of sprinkler systems and I know that if you are going to have a combined-use where you have counseling and housing, there is a requirement to have a fire separation, a two-hour separation, as well as sprinkler systems…

NASFM applauds Congressman McKinley's leadership on this issue.

H.R 2065 would mandate that these public and nonprofits organizations are in compliance with Life Safety Code.

These men and women sacrificed for our country, they must have a safe home.

There are just examples like that, Mr. Chairman--of examples where people have not followed the code.

Do not make it a policy. Make it a requirement when they get their license every year.

We have the jurisdiction where there is Federal money being used to help these individuals.

An annual cost of $100 spread out over your facility or $200.

I think the little bit of burden of having to do paperwork once a year, I think, is certainly appropriate.

I come before you today to encourage support of H.R. 2065, the Safe Housing for Homeless Veterans Act, sponsored by Representative David McKinley of West Virginia and Representative Grace Napolitano of California.
