As talks continue to avoid the fiscal cliff, I am worried social safety net programs and research & development will not have a seat at the table.

Watch video of my floor remarks today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx3bFU-TqR0Congressman Jim Moran shared a link.

Attacks on Ambassador Susan Rice by Republican Senators and Members of Congress are misguided and wholly inappropriate. They are also a distraction from important national security concerns. http://moran.house.gov/press-release/moran-statement-republican-attacks-ambassador-susan-rice- The Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department donated an ambulance to the Island Park Fire Station in New York.
