"To help provide students and parents greater transparency as to the true cost of what a college education in total will cost, I introduced last week H.R. 2020, the Truth in Tuition Act, which will require schools to either present each incoming class of students with a multiyear tuition and fee schedule or to give each student a nonbinding estimate of what their education will cost them individually."

"A new program known as Adverse Market Protection seeks to serve the needs of those who are not protected by the Agriculture Risk Coverage—ARC—and Crop Insurance Programs. It is imperative that the farm safety net provide protection for multiyear declines, especially for southern crops such as rice and peanuts, since the protection provided by ARC and crop insurance is not sufficient."

"The FARRM Act is a commonsense package of agriculture reforms that will save taxpayers nearly $40 billion while strengthening the economic health of our family farms and small businesses. The bill is the product of a multiyear policy assessment designed to modernize Federal agriculture policy and achieve substantial deficit reduction."

"We’ve yet to craft an agenda that talks of a multiyear transportation plan or climate change. And, of course, the green legislator at heart would love to see tools like the Antiquities Act as a job-creating mechanism rather than spending time on the floor fighting against rolling back NEPA as we’re doing this week with H.R. 678, unnecessarily, at the expense of supporting hydropower, as we should."
