I am proud to cochair the bipartisan Grid Innovation Caucus with my good friend from across the aisle, Representative Bob Latta from Ohio.

Sixty-eight votes in the Senate, very bipartisan, would have provided $40 billion for border security.

Congress has the power to decide what legal immigration is. And if we don't like what it is today, why don't we make legal what is good for America?

We do have an obligation here as a Nation to handle these fuels and put them in the safest place possible

We think it is more leaky than was originally thought in the 1980s when it was chosen for, as Mr. Halstead said, political reasons.

For California that means more intense wildfires each year, with a huge impact on personal safety, communities' health, and the economy.

I think we are here to solve problems. And I think we have got a pretty big one in front of us.

We need, I think, to make radical change.

I don't support the Green New Deal for two reasons.

And I think we ought to think about that. And I would ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to--let's work together, check out these ideas that we have assembled, and see if we can't start making real action.

I have suggested--I have taken a different approach...

The USE IT Act is a great first step in pairing with the fiscal policy that Congress has put in place.

Who is EPA trying to help with this proposal?

Those are the absolute worst things for children. They cause lasting, permanent damage, and we ought not to mess around with those here, and I oppose this awful action by the EPA.

By any measure, that the Obama era rule has worked.

We really need Social Security to keep them out of poverty.

I think that the response, Mr. Hanner, was a little bit cavalier.

Three out of 10 workers lack access to a retirement plan today.

Social Security is more like a retirement plan because we pay it out to people even if they don't need it.

Is that really the right role for government? And I am asking you as a rock-ribbed conservative Texan.

I introduced the USE IT Act with my colleague from West Virginia, Mr. McKinley.

One of the largest ARPA-E grants ever awarded was in my district to a company called Achates Power.

The Trump administration's continued attempt to fully defund ARPA-E... it just doesn't make any sense.

I know that roofing is occurring today without imported asbestos roofing tile.

We have not been approached right now by entities that intend to commence the asbestos uses.
