We don't want to fight a war with Russia. We don't want to fight a war with China. We don't want to fight a war with anyone.

We are in the midst not of the first quarter, but certainly towards the end of the first half of a new nuclear arms race.

Perhaps we will reintroduce that bill, taking advantage of his ranking membership on this committee, and get the job done this year.

I really appreciate your testimony where you spoke to the capital investment that your company has made in anticipation of 'Buy America' provisions in the upcoming legislation.

It does us little good to spend billions and billions of dollars and then see that money go offshore to manufacturing facilities in China or other places around the world, where American dollars, American taxpayer dollars are being used to…

The national pollution discharge elimination systems, the NPDES requirement is presently 5 years. By the time an agency knows that it has a problem, figures out what to do about it, deals with all of the litigation, 5 years is gone.

I introduced the 'HOME Investment Partnerships Reauthorization Act' (H.R. 7312) to increase the authorized funding level for the program from $2.2 billion to $6.1 billion annually.

As millions of Californians lose their livelihoods due to this pandemic and face a systemic housing shortage, Congress must make forward-looking investments in federal programs.

Representative Garamendi and I introduced H.R. 4710, the Pharmaceutical Independence Long-Term Readiness Reform Act, which seeks to take the first step in tackling this issue.

When we write the next piece of legislation, if that is the Heroes legislation, that these mandates must be in it.
