John Boozman

We are in a situation now where we have drawn down the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust for the first time in nearly 20 years.

What steps do we need to take to actually get this done so that we can get poultry from these areas back in China and other countries?

How can we hold them accountable?

This has really been an excellent hearing, and hopefully it is just the example of the hearings we are going to have in the future.

I hope you and USTR ag chief and chief negotiator McKalip's recent confirmations are a turning point for this Administration when it comes to ag trade.

I also want to reiterate my concerns with Mexico's efforts to restrict genetically engineered corn imports, which would threaten food security and stifle ag biotech innovation that benefits both the United States and Mexico.

As Senator Boozman outlined, today we are in the midst of an unprecedented global hunger crisis.

I believe that together we will be able to craft the policies needed to maintain the world's safest, most abundant, and most affordable food supply while protecting the land, water, air, wildlife and rural communities that we all care…

We are in a situation now where we have drawn down the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust for the first time in nearly 20 years, based on urgent need for emergency commodities.

The United States is the world's largest donor of humanitarian food assistance, at a time when these programs have never been more critical.

It was reported that I won my primary.

I appreciate the focus and the attention that has been made to this field house or this fitness facility.

I think it may be time to look at the reprogramming thresholds.

How are economic factors, such as extreme market volatility, and record inflation impacting your fiscal year 2023 Budget Request?

We are all very, very targeted on what we are seeing, with alarming rates of suicide.

Unfortunately, this trend doesn't seem to be changing as this year's request remains only 1.5 percent of the total DOD budget.

The physical fitness center gets directly to soldier resiliency, as well as fitness, and the ability to be ready.

Another challenge is the impact of inflation and supply chain issues on the construction market, and the corresponding increased cost of projects.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this year's budget request at $12.2 billion, which is an increase over last year's request of $9.8 billion.
