The science is clear: climate change will have increasingly devastating effects on our planet if we do not make significant changes to the way we live.

Nobody I talk to supports this Administration's efforts in the courts to destroy the Affordable Care Act and rip insurance from millions of families.

I strongly endorse Congresswoman Matsui's STORE Nuclear Fuel Act, which would authorize the Department of Energy to take title to spent nuclear fuel.

It's critical that the Federal Government establish a consolidated interim storage, or CIS, facility for this waste and other spent nuclear fuel across the country.

I strongly endorse Congresswoman Matsui's Store Nuclear Fuel Act, which would authorize the Department of Energy to take title to spent nuclear fuel in order to store it at a CIS facility.

I think it is important that those risks are explained and quantified, which is one reason I am proud to support the Climate Risk Disclosure Act.

Our veterans deserve clear information when making decisions about where to seek care, and Congress needs more reliable measures to understand veterans' access to care in our districts and districts across the country.

We owe our veterans no less. All due respect to those in the industry, you know we can do better than what we are doing today for our veterans.

I am proud to say that the vast majority of these proposals are bipartisan in nature, something I consider a hallmark of this Committee.

It is time to sunset this benefit and have--again, just one GI program on the books.

Current law requires that online students only receive half of the national average of living stipend payments, but my bill does need work, and I am going to talk about that.

I want to express my support for two other draft bills on the agenda today.

We have got to address this issue and we have got to come to some common ground.

I am not saying all for-profit universities are bad, far from it, there are plenty of people doing very good things, but to deny that this is an issue, one that we must work together in a bipartisan manner to address, completely dismisses…

There are far too many of our veterans that we are poaching to take advantage of them in order to get the other 90 percent.

we want to work with the community to come to a consensus about the best way to do it.

We want to avoid unintended consequences.

I believe my approach gets us to the same place the Chairman wants to go, but also keeps partisan ideas out of the GI Bill.

This is a big concern in the area that I represent in San Diego, as I know it is throughout the country.

I believe this approach will help servicemembers make the right decision.

I understand the Chairman's desire to improve oversight over all schools, and I appreciate that very much, and I share that desire.

While I am supportive of most of the bills on today's agenda, I am concerned that several of the draft education bills may have unintended consequences.

Thank you, Chair Castor. I am very grateful that you are holding this hearing.

I commend all of you, all four of you. And that includes anybody trying to do zero-emission.

Thank you, Ms. Lee, and thank you for your leadership on that veterans education caucus, I look forward to working with you on that, as well.
