I hope we go forward with permanent changes in our reimbursement structures and in the reciprocal regulatory issues among States so that we can expand telehealth, because I think it gives timely access to care for so many individuals.

We have seen here in the pandemic that patients absolutely want that type of care, and we should act to expand it.

It also shows the inequities in our health-care system. And those communities that do not have the same degree of infrastructure, health infrastructure, or access to infrastructure, health care, were the ones who suffered the most during…

Mr. Chairman, thanks very much for having this hearing. It is critically important, the number of issues that we are learning so much about in the last more than a year now.

It is very clear to me that, as a practical matter, having audio-only is better than not having any care.

Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Ely Blaisdell of South Fork, Pennsylvania. Ely has accepted a fully qualified appointment to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in New York. Ely is a senior at Bishop Carroll Catholic High School. He has…

Madam Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 403 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 403 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall…

Madam Speaker, yesterday, the Rules Committee met and reported a rule, House Resolution 403, providing for consideration of H.R. 1629, the Fairness in Orphan Drug Exclusivity Act, under a closed rule. It provides 1 hour of debate equally…

Madam Speaker, like many, I am so excited to see our country begin to unwind many of the COVID-19 precautions of the last year, but we are not in the clear yet. It is no secret that many Members of this body have refused to be vaccinated…

I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the previous question on the resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Cuellar). The question is on ordering the previous question. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I wanted to mention that Senator Elizabeth Warren, a native of Oklahoma, carries the Senate version of H. Res. 398 recognizing the Tulsa centennial. When I go home and meet with…

Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn), the majority whip.

Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, with all due respect to my colleagues, I must respectfully decline to chase the red herring that has been lobbed onto the House floor. A vote on the PQ is strictly a…

It was the failure of our government that helped enable the violent massacre.

I appreciate your still being with us, but, as you know, we have lost so many since that hearing.

Thank you to Chair Cohen, Ranking Member Johnson, and the Subcommittee, for this opportunity to testify at such a critical time in our nation's history, nearly 100 years since the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

No one was ever charged with a crime the violence or compensated for the loss of life and economic devastation.
