Thank you, Chairman Schatz, for securing funding through the FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill to effectively defuel and shut down the Red Hill Bulk Storage Facility.

we thank the Committee and Senator Schatz for championing these bills in the 117th Congress.

It's very clear that we want to make changes to Section 230, but there are always unintended consequences whenever we attempt to do that.

no decisions about us.
