I am tremendously excited to see the increases for the Earth Sciences Program at NASA in this budget because I think they're extremely important.

I do appreciate the support for the orphaned wells bill that I have sponsored.

We have to take action now to address the water needs of our communities and climate change.

It is so humbling, and such an honor to be able to see you serving our Nation.

I have concerns given what a unique year it is to make very long-term impactful decisions based on data, in what may be a year that is a complete anomaly.

I would just like to also echo many of the words that we heard today about diversifying our STEM workforce and our aerospace workforce.

I am working on legislation to assist states in this transition, those that rely on fossil fuels.

The American people know that the science is clear, and that we must urgently address climate change.

I am so grateful to have you here today. You know how proud the entire state of New Mexico is, and how thankful we are for your leadership, your guidance, and your wisdom.

I think we all look forward to working together to make sure we provide the resources for the VA.

Does wireless substitute for wireline connectivity? It absolutely does. It is doing it today.

We believe that wireless towers should be equipped with backup power.

Our national commitments in this area has always been to make sure that rural and underserved communities be on that equal playing field.

How do you ensure that the backup power itself does not become a risk?

No, they cannot. Not if they cannot afford it.
