The Administration's so-called National Ocean Policy is not new to this committee, as this is the sixth oversight hearing on this subject.

I want to discuss my bill, which is H.R. 4381, the Service Member Retirement Improvement Act.

My concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to American families and businesses, and is not in the best interest of the United States.

What my common-sense bill would do is simply allow these servicemen to contribute the maximum to both their civilian and military TSP.
