Jerry McNerney: “I think it is important that we pass strong Federal legislation like H.R. 675 to protect consumers against these…”

One of the bills we are considering today is H.R. 4530, legislation that I authored, which would establish an office of technologists at the FTC.

Each bill does something different, but they all have a similar aim, which is to strengthen the Nation.

I think the technology being discussed here represents a great potential to simultaneously eliminate economic loss while addressing harmful emissions.

I want to thank you and the Department of Energy for leading the whole-of-government approach in restoring operations of the Colonial Pipeline following the recent cyber attack.
