We want to make sure the military gets it right and understands that if they're going to have less money, they're going to have to spend it a lot more smartly.
From Rodney Frelinghuysen
Part of my job is to make sure the Northeast is part of our defense industrial base, and New Jersey has always played a role.
I hate the sequester. I hate it.
I now sit at the table in a variety of ways with the House leadership... as we go through taking a look at threat assessments and hot spots around the world. It's a national position, but certainly I don't forget that New Jersey has a critical part of national defense.
Let me make it clear: I support health care reform. I just don't support Nancy Pelosi's version.
To me, the New Jersey law enforcement community, and many other Americans, one of the biggest impediments to improved relations between the United States and Cuba is the continued safe haven provided to the fugitive, Joanne Chesimard.
This corridor is important to national security and important to the whole Northeast. So it's not just our own New Jersey transportation needs: it's the whole rail corridor here we're talking about.
Our nation has invested millions of dollars in building safe, humane and, I may say, air-conditioned facilities to detain and prosecute the detainees at Guantanamo.
We as taxpayers have put in well over $12 to $15 billion of investment in a repository for high-level nuclear waste... if we're ever to recoup that investment in the future... then we're going to need some money to reopen Yucca Mountain.
The House has repeatedly had overwhelming votes in support of continuing the Yucca Mountain repository.
