thank you to each of you for being here.

As you know, the H-2B Visa Program is a very important tool for seasonal employers and for others who need foreign workers to fill temporary jobs when no Americans are available.

I appreciate the opportunity to co-lead this legislation and to support you in those efforts.

Starbucks is an outlier here, so you need to quickly shift course and negotiate with your unionized workers.

I could not be even more adamant that our bill, H.R. 1139 the GUARD VA benefits act is necessary.

I know of no further debate on the resolution. The PRESIDING OFFICER. If there is no further debate, the question is on agreeing to the resolution. The resolution (S. Res. 129) was agreed to.

One of the issues that I think is very important to helping with recruitment--with retention, in particular, is ensuring that there is child care for families who are serving.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on H.R. 930, The Ski Hill Resources for Economic Development (SHRED) Act of 2023.

Patients rely on supports like the 340B program, which provides discounts on essential prescription drugs to vulnerable communities.

American Whitewater supports the intent of H.R. 930, Ski Hill Resources for Economic Development (SHRED) Act of 2023.

I am reintroducing my bipartisan bill, Increasing Transparency in Generic Drug Applications Act of 2022.

As my colleagues on both sides of the aisle have stated, healthcare costs are unaffordable for literally millions of Americans.

Site-neutral policies are also a tool to help strengthen the Medicare program overall.

The protections that Section 230 provide online platforms should not extend to bad actors and online predators.

I am proud to also co-lead this bill and look forward to discussing the legislation today.

We can and must do better by our constituents.

I recognize that Section 230 is the bedrock of our modern-day internet, but Congress has a responsibility to ensure that these legal protections are functioning as intended.

It remains clear to me that there are real opportunities to make the internet a safer place for the American people.
