I have pressed Congress and the administration to take steps to aid ports like opening up municipal lending facilities to port authorities.

We start this letter by offering our sincere thanks to you and your staff for all the work that you have done to help the American people during this emergency.
we rely, in our district, as does the country, on free and open trade in the Indo-Pacific.
my constituents also have a very strong interest in checking China's influence in the south, especially in their dominance in the South China Sea.
I would like to thank my colleagues, Representatives Tlaib and Pressley, for yielding and allowing me to speak. As we all know, this morning the Supreme Court heard the oral arguments in Medical Services v. Russo, a case that challenges…
Thank you, the chair, for holding this very important hearing, the first time in decades that we have really listened to the transportation needs on Federal lands, on Tribal lands, and U.S. Territories.
My bill, on its face, is simply about transparency. It is about making sure that companies operating on America's public lands tell the public the basic information about how they run their operations.
As owners and caretakers of our Nation's resources, we should all strive for greater transparency and accountability from our Federal Government.
Methane, the main component of natural gas, is a powerful greenhouse gas--much worse for our climate than carbon dioxide.
That's why we need the Transparency in Energy Production Act, and it's not just about methane. It's about transparency across the board.
The oil and gas industry has, for years now, touted natural gas as the solution to climate change.
I think it is important that we support these laws such as the Energy Transition Act in New Mexico...
But it is actually more than that. The bill is about protecting public health, safeguarding the environment, and trying to keep the devastating impacts of climate change in check.
TEPA does not mandate a change in the types of energy developed, but rather gives the American people the data they need to make informed decisions.
I think you have raised an important issue. We do not deal with that in this bill at all.
That is why we need the Transparency in Energy Production Act, and it is not just about methane.
We have driven substantial reductions in localized diesel emissions through investment in dockside power.
I think that the rollout of shore charging and shoreside power systems is vital to be moving in this direction.
I am pleased that we are beginning our work on the 2020 in one of the most critical things that we do, the Water Resources Development Act.
I think the Corps has really stepped up and said they are going to look at that.
The facts in this case are as simple as they are tragic. Witness after witness attested to these facts. No one has credibly refuted them. President Trump tried to coerce Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 elections. He used the power of his…
That fills me with hope. Mr. Speaker, this resolution affirms the principles that have guided our foreign policy under Democratic and Republican administrations. We know that a two-state solution is the only path to a just peace. Mr…
I appreciate in your testimony and that of other witnesses... the need to remove barriers like the cap on nonhighway projects under the Federal freight program.
