"I thank the Senator from Georgia. I think that is exactly the point. While perhaps those who know CDC—obviously in the State of Georgia people know it more intimately than in my State. They more likely think of CDC doing something in Africa or Asia, not so much what it means locally. We know that our hospitals, for instance, are sometimes havens for high health care costs and unnecessary illnesses due to infections acquired in the hospital and antibiotic-resistant superbugs such as CRE—a family of germs with high levels of resistance to antibiotics. I wonder if my friend is familiar with CDC’s work in these areas and if he would expand on that."

"Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of efforts to fight sexual assault in the military. Sexual assault and rape are violent and horrific crimes, and they must be treated as serious offense, not—as Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia has suggested—as a byproduct of “hormones.”"

"This is what we’re talking about. You can send their child to college. One year of tuition and fees at the University of Georgia is $10,262. One year of tuition and fees at the University of Florida is $6,150. Instead, they’re trapped paying almost $15,000 in hidden regulatory tax that comes through every year."

"This is Nelson and Jhon Magdaleno. They came to the State of Georgia from Venezuela when Nelson was 11 and Jhon was 9. Nelson and Jhon went to Georgia Tech University, one of the most selective engineering schools in America. Nelson graduated with an honors degree in computer engineering and Jhon is currently an honor student majoring in chemical and biomolecular engineering. After receiving deferred action, Jhon is working at a biomedical engineering lab at Georgia Tech researching glaucoma. He recently secured an internship with Eastman Chemical Company. Nelson is now working at Texas Instruments, one of America’s top high-tech companies."
