Zoe Lofgren: “I think NOAA is just a critically important scientific agency, and we all know it has a direct effect on the livelihoods…”

I have no additional requests for time. I would just like to once again thank Congresswoman Houlahan, Dr. Baird, and I also thank the chairman. We have had a great run here in the Science Committee this evening with these terrific bills…

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.

Now they have reached NOAA where they’re wreaking havoc on the scientific and regulatory systems that protect American families’ safety and jobs.

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