"So I wanted to come and join my friend here, who is carrying the flag week in and week out here on the floor, to say that we have a lot of work to do here; and to the American people, to say there are Members in this Chamber who are saying: make these investments."

"It is not fair for our working coast—whether it is fisheries or oil and gas or wind or manufacturing—for our coastal communities, our commerce and trade, to pick up the entire burden of this Flood Insurance Program. Let’s try to be reasonable. I am going to be as patient as I can. I understand how important this bill is to everyone. I am most mindful of how important it is to my State. We have been trying to get a WRDA bill out here on the floor for several years, and we finally have one."

"Now, death is a frightening thing for all of us to think about. None of us want to think about death. It’s not something that’s usual table conversation or much of a conversation out here on the floor. But Booth was willing to look at it straight on, and he was willing to talk about it in a way that few other people were."

"If we do that, if we put a balanced budget amendment out here on the floor of the House and the Senate and if it passes, I’ll be ready to look at increasing the debt ceiling for the President. If that doesn’t happen, I don’t see a reason to raise the debt ceiling. Let’s stare him down on that until somebody gives in."
