The question is, how will that work to protect creators?

I'll express some disappointment that progress that I expected to have been made by now has not yet been made.

I believe that AI is going to upend a lot of careers.

There is lots wrong with this bill, as has been mentioned by others, turning children back to their smugglers at the border and the like, but I will focus on the issue of those fleeing communist oppression. For years, we had bipartisan…

I'm hoping that this Congress we can rise to the challenge and get our Nation's firefighters the resources that they need to do their jobs.

We need accurate forecasting. Both to pre-deploy resources for predicted devastating fires, to help our farmers prepare for, you know, devastating flooding, and many other things.

Listening to you is really inspiring, and I think of all of the efforts that each one of you has made to keep our country safer.

the situation with flooding in California is pretty severe, and actually probably going to get worse

I think the budget request is a positive step, but as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee has mentioned, in the proposed 22 percent budget cut that passed the House a couple of weeks ago, I think that would be pretty--a pretty…

I believe that the President's budget request contains a number of programs and activities to expand NOAA's capabilities and increase the resiliencies of communities.

I look forward to today's discussion on reauthorizing these bills and how Congress can help ensure that the brave men and women who really stepped forward to protect us all can get the support that's concrete.

I am grateful to Representative Ross for the expertise and diligence and hard work that she puts in on the Science Committee. Her knowledge is invaluable, but there is something else. In this body, we know there is sometimes acrimony and…

We ought to have an Applied Energy Office for fusion, just as we do for nuclear energy.

I think it's the biggest request for fusion ever.

I am prepared to close and yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, this is another example of how the Science Committee can successfully follow our history of bipartisan work for the well- being of our country--two freshmen…

These landmark investments are already leading to numerous exciting new research efforts and scientific infrastructure improvements across the nation.

I am happy that President Biden has continued his commitment to science and manufacturing, as reflected in his Fiscal Year budget request for NIST.

There are still a very dangerous toxics. In some cases, they can't be replaced in the production.

If I could interrupt, the OSHA Director himself said that their standards were insufficient, so I'm hoping that we can reach out to EPA for the gold standard on some of these chemicals.
