Vaccine hesitancy and access disparities persist. As I said, we have to work together to address these disparities.

This committee will continue to do its part by continuing our bipartisan oversight over this critical subject.

I just think that is unfair, and it is, in my opinion, beneath the office that you hold.

Today the subcommittee continues its oversight of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

We are here today to continue our critical effort--or oversight of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the United States.

The Biden administration has taken decisive action to get the COVID-19 vaccination effort back on track.

Thanks to the Biden administration's efforts, we have already seen encouraging results. More than 70 million Americans have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

We intend to ensure that we are much better prepared for anything that may come at us in the future.

As we just passed the 1-year anniversary of the national emergency, it is really difficult to fathom the devastating loss that we endured.

We have two people here with us today who have been extraordinary in helping us develop the vaccine, and also our country's response to the pandemic.

we need to do a better job of going back into the SBA and looking at how do we take these lessons learned and make it part of their DNA.

Small businesses are at the forefront of the clean energy economy and I think promoting these new technologies in renewable energy and energy efficiency takes on increasing importance.

As we get more resources to these smaller manufacturers and to smaller partners with DOE the rate of innovation is going to continue to increase.

the transportation sector is responsible for the largest share of U.S. greenhouse gases and, given the urgency of climate change, it is critical that we use every tool to address this head-on.

I think small businesses in health care or in technology, manufacturing, computer technology, these all need some sort of support.

I want to congratulate you, Ms. Su, on your nomination to be Deputy Secretary.

Thank you, Mr. Chair and Chair Nadler for holding this timely hearing to examine legislative proposals to help local journalism and small publishers compete in the digital marketplace.

What happened to you is disgraceful in this country. It's something we expect in China or Russia.
