I think it is so important that we include that in this. This should have been a life in prison sentence for what was done. You know, I will say to my Democratic colleagues what I said about Michael Delaney's nomination: For the sake of…

My amendment increases and decreases to emphasize the importance of restoring public safety and the rule of law on the D.C. Metro. While it primarily is focusing on crime on the Metro, I would be remiss if I failed to mention that law and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 61, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $1,000,000)(reduced by $1,000,000)''. The…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 193, after line 2, insert the following: Sec. 493. None of the funds made available by this Act shall…

The Democrats have been hard at work revising American history, from the removal of statues to renaming military bases. They truly believe they can and should erase the history and progress we have made since our Nation was founded for…

I go back to my original statement. The Federal Government has no business renaming towns and erasing our history. That should be left to local and State entities to decide. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank my colleague for wishing that I find oil in my yard. I hope I do, but that being said, I joke. Mr. Chairman, let me just say that this is a step in the right direction to have a more responsible energy policy. It is lowering the…

I will point out that a $6.5 billion hike on oil and gas development isn't going to decrease inflation. It increases underlying costs. When you look at commodities across sectors, everything has gone up-- food, oil, et cetera--because of…

At a time of, again, increased dependency on our enemies, my amendment addresses the royalty rates that were imposed by the Biden administration through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. We can see today that it did nothing to reduce…

The Environmental Financial Advisory Board, or the EFAB, was chartered under the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act. The EFAB boasts of making recommendations that would supposedly lower the cost of environmental protection…

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 the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

To be clear, it was The New York Times. The study was examined or authored with coauthors but, in particular, Dr. Jefferson, and it looked at 18 different studies that used proper scientific controls. By the way, if you are going to cite…

I go back to the study, and it found that wearing a mask in public places makes little to no difference in the number of infections. For the folks on the other side who privately believe that masks work, it should be noted that mask…

My amendment prohibits the funds appropriated by this act from being used to enforce any COVID-19 mask mandates. I was fortunate enough to introduce this amendment during the Energy- Water appropriations, and I am happy to do so again…

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 the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made…

We may have had a hot summer, but I just went trick-or-treating with my kids and the low that evening was 29 degrees, so temperatures change. Temperatures have been changing for the millennia. That being said, it is this alarmism, this…

I think part of the problem in this country is that we tend to hold ourselves or the left tends to hold us to a standard that is really unattainable. Meanwhile, our partners, like China, are left to abuse the environment. They are the…

Let's take a look at the eligible recipients of this $27 billion boondoggle: State-sponsored green banks; nonprofit or quasi-government green banks--so much for the free market, Mr. Chairman--and nonprofit energy conservation funds and…
