Zoe Lofgren: “The idea of a NOAA Organic Act has long had bipartisan support.”

This was the most transparent committee, probably, in the history of Congress.

As Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation, we have been united against this Administration’s illegal attempts to force fossil fuel projects at the expense of our state’s environment and public health.

My fear is that the chaos the new administration is sowing will be enough to leave our science and technology enterprise in ruins, with Chinese Communist leaders in Beijing popping champagne corks.

I urge that we support and enact this good bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
