I have been advocating since my time in Congress now, this is my fourth term, on the issue of human rights abuses in Vietnam.

Thank you for coming to our committee and describing to us the important work of the Army Corps across the Nation.

Well, I think it is great that you are doing it, and I can just imagine how that can be used.

I am just so glad to have this discussion about the beneficial reuse. I think it is just critically, critically important.

As we celebrate Pride Month, we are reminded of the great strides towards equality we have taken. Madam Speaker, 50 years ago, on the streets outside the Stonewall Inn where the modern LGBTQ rights movement began, the journey towards…

coastwise shipping holds tremendous promise to alleviate congestion on our highways and reduce harmful carbon emissions.

I included investments in marine highways as part of our infrastructure proposal, because these investments drive substantial reduction in diesel emissions.

If Congress does take the steps we have discussed today to treat the territories equitably, such as providing uncapped Medicaid funding, calculating fund matching in the same way it does for the states, really begins to treat the…

Your important work to really promote our country's maritime industry--and I want to applaud MARAD's request for full funding of the Maritime Security Program.
