As we pour more money into an electrified economy, we are increasing the labor participation rate in Congo with forced labor, with child slave labor.

And if we develop those minerals here and develop the other parts of the supply chain, then that means generating huge amounts of wealth for the United States, for U.S. workers, for great jobs in rural communities.

We are also seeing actions from the Administration to shut down mining, and those two things really don't go hand in hand.

We can't mine and permit our way out of this. Actually, we would have to permit and then mine.

Oversight should be a bipartisan effort by Congress to exercise our constitutional duty to have checks and balances over an administration.

We have seen an attack on the production of American oil and gas on American mining, which translates into an attack on the economy of America

House Republicans made a lot of promises last year, and now the American people have given us a majority, and we are ready to deliver on those promises.

I thank the gentleman for his tireless advocacy on behalf of his constituents, and particularly the Pala Band in this instance. I know he has worked on this more than just this year. Madam Speaker, I urge adoption of the bill, and I have…

I appreciate the ongoing and tireless work of Miss Gonzalez-Colon here in Congress on behalf of the residents of Puerto Rico.

I believe that attaining financial stability, repairing infrastructure, and ensuring access to affordable and reliable energy for the residents of Puerto Rico will set the island on a solid and prosperous path forward.

A Representative in Congress from the State of Arkansas.

As my colleague from our Arkansas delegation, Bruce Westerman, who is the ranking member on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the only licensed forester in Congress, has said, we have quite literally loved our trees to death…

It would be helpful if people weren't misled about electric cars. They are generally more expensive.

Why isn't the committee issuing subpoenas for PR firms that offer support for the climate change lobby, like the Sierra Club.
