I am here today to express Delta's strong support for the HEN ACT and to thank Congresswoman Fischbach, Congressman LaMalfa, and Congressman Thompson for their leadership on this critical piece of legislation.

If there ever was a foreign terrorist organization, it is the Houthi.

Our own very security is being undermined because of our inability to come together on what seems to me common sense.

This unprovoked attack by a war criminal, a war criminal named Putin, and anyone who associates with Putin or takes his side simply, I think, as the President said is ignoring our democratic responsibilities as the leader of the free world.

This bipartisan bill would create a standalone program for alternative manure management conservation practices for dairy producers, and support additional practices to help reduce methane efforts.

This bipartisan bill changes the adjusted gross income for USDA disaster programs, including exempting the $900,000 AGI limitation.

I can think of lots of legislation that could help wildlife and threaten an endangered species.

H.R. 7157 would codify arbitrary and compressed deadlines for the disposition of claims related to the detention of potentially illegally sourced wood.

It is just bill after bill in this Committee to undermine species protection and further what I call an extinction agenda.

Now, we turn to H.R. 7157, the Strengthen Wood Product Supply Chains Act, a valentine to those involved in illegal logging and wildlife trafficking.

illegal logging in Peru destabilizes the entire country. It was at the center of the violence and political instability last year.

The Endangered Species Act is based on science.

This bill throws the science out the window in service of giving polluting industries what they want.

Bills like this are not what we need to address that crisis.

This legislation is a waste of time. It absolutely is irreconcilable with both the spirit and the goals of the Endangered Species Act.

What Republicans are hoping to do with this legislation is abolish protected status effectively in its entirety.

H.R. 7157, my Strengthen Wood Product Supply Chains Act is simply a bill that asks for some rational process by which foreign, exotic woods are regulated as they come into the United States.

Thanks to the hard work of Reps. Duarte and Costa, whose wood product industry in California has experienced many of these importation issues.
