I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of subtitle A of title III add the following: SEC. 309. FIRE SAFE ELECTRICAL CORRIDORS. (a) In…

May I inquire as to the amount of time remaining on both sides. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

We still have concerns, obviously, with the underlying bill, but we do support Congressman Carbajal's good amendment. I thank him for his leadership in working on this issue. Vegetation management around utility lines is a very important…

The picture my friend from northern California just showed is instructive because both the right and the left side of that picture are areas that were clear-cut. You can tell that, Mr. Chair, because all the trees were exactly the same…

We were under the impression that this was essentially a closed rule. Many of our beneficial amendments were rejected out of hand or ruled out of order, but apparently, there is always room for an amendment that will make the bill worse…

If the excuse for this amendment is that we don't have the money, then you do an amendment to strike the whole program. You don't simply single out the parts of it that are environmental or that have to do with climate solutions. That is…

I mean, its offensive. It's insulting. It's never been done before in the history of our country, as I think prior speakers have said.

Can you imagine if President Biden told the people of Florida, I'm not going to give you disaster relief unless you change your gun laws or Louisiana with your abortion laws. It's unconscionable.

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Chu of California moves to recommit the bill H.R. 21 to the Committee on the Judiciary. The…

And we expect the federal government in our country to be there for us without conditions, without strings attached. So, to suggest that is unconscionable.

The level of water flowing to Southern California from the north today is the exact same as it was during the first Trump administration.

President Trump was elected with a mandate to improve the daily lives of hardworking Americans, a mandate to lower housing costs, make groceries more affordable, and help families get ahead and stay ahead. Let's take a moment to highlight…

I'm hopeful that despite the president's political rhetoric and attacks, that people like Senator Rick Scott, former governor of Florida, who knows what it is to deal with the disaster. Senator Thom Tillis from North Carolina, whose state…

It is sadly unsurprising to me that Members of this body know next to nothing about pregnancy or abortion care, which is why we should not be the ones getting involved in these decisions in the first place. Let's clear a few things up for…

The bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act is a critical piece of legislation that will restore forest health and increase our resiliency to catastrophic wildfires. The fires burning across southern California devastated entire communities and…

In the past few weeks and in the past few years, communities all across America have witnessed the devastation, destruction, and death from wildfires. Much of this calamity and crisis is due to the many communities being in high-risk…

Good on Gavin Newsom for being the bigger person to show up and say, Mr. President, I'm glad you're here.

I think what our governor is doing, he's saying to the president without so many words, this -- this is a moment we have to come together for the people who are hurting. And by the way, you don't attach strings about, you know, voting to…
