I give you and the Biden Administration, the FDIC, and others, high marks for the way you responded quickly and decisively to the Silicon Valley Bank default.

I do think that making sure that folks who, especially very wealthy folks pay their taxes on time is important.

But it seems to me that we look very weak when we continually make statements without any kind of consequence.

I was very disappointed, very disappointed that the budget that was submitted by the Biden Administration zeroed out the funding for this program.

We are on an unsustainable path for which the bill will ultimately come due.

In my view that represents a retreat around the world at a time that we need to be more engaged, not less engaged.

At the current extinction rate experts estimate the Earth is losing one major drug every 2 years.

Let me turn quickly to the question of robocalls. And we are obviously going to do another round of questions for any members who are interested.

I just wanted to get an update from you as to where that was, on our side, with respect to your sign off?

I hope we will all figure out a way forward on this.

we are seeing a critical crackdown and I just want to point out that the State Department Human Rights Report...indicates that both India and Pakistan have seen increasing threats on press freedom.

But it seems to me that we look very weak when we continually make statements without any kind of consequence.

I know Senator Merkley mentioned to you our recent trip to Vietnam and Indonesia.

I represent the State of Maryland, and the Chesapeake Bay is an example of an ongoing restoration effort.

I appreciate that. And, you know, I hadn't fully realized, before that trip, that Indonesia was the only place on earth that is the home to orangutans on two of their islands.

You can't do this on the cheap, and you can't do it with rhetoric and no resources.

I know President Biden has called upon Congress to change the law so that we can hold executives accountable.

Thank you, Madam Secretary.
