Jimmy Panetta

Thank you for your leadership in introducing legislation to protect forests and communities from catastrophic wildfire.

Firefighter Safety is of utmost importance to our industry, and the ability for the agencies to be able to utilize retardant as another tool we believe that they should have access too.

Congress has failed to do is to create parity for our Tribal Nations when it comes to the use of those tools of the Tax Code.

Some of the highest poverty rates, some of the most difficult challenges around health, around income, around economic disparity is found in Indian country.

We all have different perspectives, we come from different life paths, but we have a lot in common.

I just hope that as we go into another year writing a farm bill that we are going to be able to draw on that example that you set.

I represent a lot of growers, a lot of folks in agriculture, and I appreciate the perspective that you bring.

We in Congress provided that type of significant funding for oversight and improvements for our unemployment insurance systems.

As a former prosecutor, I am well aware of people who try to pull one over on the Federal Government.

Obviously, starting with the CARES Act, Congress acted with speed and bipartisanship to help people who lost their livelihoods.

We provided billions for unemployment insurance that worked, that helped people, that actually prevented hardship for millions.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 18 Offered by Mr. Levin

I have an amendment at the desk, specifically No. 26. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 9, strike the closing quotation mark and the final period. Page 3, after…

I recently was proud that I joined my colleague from Indiana Mr. Baird... to introduce a bill called the Plant Biostimulant Act (H.R. 7752).

I think people need to understand that and appreciate that but also work with them, when it comes to ensuring that we have all of those.

I believe it's revitalized democracies and as the administration and President said, it's strengthened our NATO's resolve.

My constituents have endured more than seven years of unprecedented commercial aviation noise following NextGen implementation.

These bills, along with many, many other provisions in this bipartisan legislation, are commonsense solutions for the futures and the retirements of working families. That is why, Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote for SECURE 2.0.

I believe your strong leadership and dedication to constituent input can help resolve this ongoing nightmare for Santa Cruz County residents.

We write to respectfully request that you include additional funding beyond what has already been provided in FY 2022 appropriations legislation for The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in omnibus spending legislation or any…

Obviously, we have had a lot of hearings on the farm bill, and this type of discussion on how the USDA and its agencies execute Congressional policies and interact with our consumers, with our farmers, with our ranchers, and our partners…

I appreciate you leaning into this issue, and I also appreciate the fact that you understand the emergency aspect of this issue.

I appreciate this opportunity to have this type of discussion with these experts to talk about many of our Federal conservation programs.

Under Secretary Torres Small, do you think the application process could be more accessible or streamlined?

Access to reliable broadband internet is an absolute necessity for our students, for our farmworkers, for our patients, for our businesses
