Thomas R. Carper: “I want to make sure that we have fully implemented provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act that pertain to climate…”

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.

Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.
