I am pleased that we are building on this effort to address outstanding racial and ethnic disparities.

I think every place in Colorado is wonderful.

Thank you so much, Madam Chair.

We have really struggled with the Trump Administration's rollback of energy efficiency standards, rollback of fuel economy standards for the cars that we drive.

Would you agree with the governor and me and others that Colorado has one of the strictest methane rules of any place in the country? Is that right?

I am working on legislation to pass the Methane Waste Prevention Act that reinstates this important rule at the national level.

So therefore, in Colorado for example, the oil and gas industry, they comply with the Colorado rules around fracking and emissions; is that right?

Congressman Neguse and I have a set of companion bills... that, if passed together, these bills would protect about a million acres of Colorado wilderness.

I reintroduced the 'FRAC' Act, which eliminates the Halliburton loophole that was enacted in the 1990s.

That was the scientific result?

We have to do much better.

No girl should have to choose between their dignity or their education, no one should have to lose their dignity just because they are incarcerated.

That was the scientific result? That was the science. That is fact.

Fact gathering is hard.

I think that you have a very good bill.

I find this conversation extremely interesting.

They wanted you to take it out because it would confuse people.

I think the scientific expertise that you and your colleagues have provided our Federal agencies is really important because our policies should be based on science.

It removes the meaning from my study.

We have all talked about the fact that climate science indicates we need to cut net global greenhouse gas emissions in half in 10 years and then reduce the net emissions to zero in 30 years or we will expose our children, grandchildren…

I can assure all of you, and everyone in the audience, this committee does intend to stay on this issue.

Fentanyl is exceedingly dangerous. It is 50 times more powerful than heroin, 100 times more powerful than morphine.

Fentanyl can be used on its own or can be mixed with other drugs.

Today, we are here once again to discuss the opioid crisis, an epidemic this country has been battling for years.
