I'm concerned about plutonium pit production. NNSA is required to make 80 pits per year by 2030 but acknowledged it would miss that deadline by anywhere from 2 to 5 years.

In the meantime, I'm told we're not going to be able to produce 50 pits annually at the Savannah River site until 2032 or 2035 at the earliest.

I think the Ayatollah in Iran habitually lies and if you get rid of that B83 that you want to eliminate, I think you're going to make him smile and I don't think that's in America's interests and I really think you need to reconsider.

We cannot just look at what the problem was before, we have to look at what the problem's going to be tomorrow.

Those experiencing homelessness often struggle to obtain or maintain the required personal documents... adds an unnecessary burden on our Nation's most vulnerable.

How do we bring personal relationships back into the equation?

I really very much regret that because I will never forget.

I would like to do my utmost as a United States Senator from California to try and restore the roots of friendship that once existed.

Relationships matter. And I deeply believe that.

A California company is alleging market practices by some companies that would result in tariffs up to a 250 percent increase.

The public, I think, is more focused on inflation which has been at the highest level since the 1980s.

The costs we impose are mostly borne by U.S. businesses and families, reducing them would leave people more resources to deal with rising prices.

The President has been clear that the Trump tariffs imposed on China were not done in a thoughtful way.

I would be most interested in helping with a plan if you have one, to see that we can provide what we need to provide. I am really very worried because California is extraordinarily dry, and fire is a real enemy.

The agencies have been chronically understaffed, many Federal wildland firefighters are moving to state jobs, particularly in my state because the pay is better.

We have got to hire enough people to handle what is going to happen with global warming? And that particularly goes for my state. And I am very concerned.

I see these fires and I see what can happen, and I really don't know what we can do to give you the resources to put up those--the ability to stop big massive fire in our state.

My understanding is that the west has become a real problem for fire. Since 2017 wildfire has burned 10 million acres in my state, California, killed nearly 200 people, and destroyed more than 32,000 homes.

Congress should allocate greater resources for new innovative flood control barriers.

Your record of oversight and support has kept the program strong and effective.

We urge the subcommittee to provide the following for the fiscal year 2023 Weatherization Assistance Program: the funding requested in the President's budget for the core program at no less than $362.2 million.

We hope your report will provide guidance to the Department of Energy regarding better integration of the program funded in this appropriation.

We also urge the subcommittee to reject the proposed 'LIHEAP Advantage' $100 million project for reasons we outline below.

Thank you very much.

I continue to be deeply concerned about industrial waste dumped off the California coast between the 1930s and 1960s that still remains in our ocean.
