I am currently working on legislation to address this issue.

I do think, like I said, I think that there are ways in the world where China cheats on human rights, for example, and should be held accountable.

As you all know, the Constitution reserves the power to declare war to Congress, and this committee has jurisdiction over authorizations for use of military force.

One thing that I did not mention, had not addressed, was the success and the cooperation of our business community in Latin America.

Both Democratic and Republican Administrations have seized more and more authority to unilaterally use force, and congressional inaction I believe has enabled this.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. The Chair understands that amendment No. 52 will not be offered…

What an opportunity to have Texans debating Texans. I hope that every Texan from the RGV all the way to Amarillo and from El Paso all the way to Beaumont is listening to this debate because the line is clear. Chaos and lawlessness or law…

It is literally relying in the hands of energy production.

We need energy freedom, not net zero.

It is no secret that the Biden administration has been at war with the oil and gas industry since day one.

The Biden administration has prioritized regulations that hurt the United States energy security.
