Am I correct that BLM has few options under current law to deny a proposed mine, even if that mine was on, say, lands sacred to Native American tribes?

If there was a company that wanted to mine, the local citizens might not have any idea about it until it is far along into the process.

Do you know of a current regulation that says that BLM could regulate a mine on sacred lands?

Is it true that the mining industry is also able to pollute our water resources due to loopholes in the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, and other environmental laws?

Americans today are facing extraordinarily high gas prices at the pump. The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline one year ago was under $3. Today, the average is over $4 a gallon. And in some places, it`s nearly $6 a gallon. These…

I urge the Committee to be bold and strategic in crafting a WRDA 2022 bill that helps tackle the climate crisis.

This year, I am seeking modifications to language for an existing project, increases in program limits for other USACE projects.

I want to thank the committee for its continued support of the Chatfield Downstream Channel Improvement Project.

I was even more alarmed to hear allegations by career scientists about a disregard for science and transparency.

I was frustrated and disappointed how the previous Administration abused its responsibilities under the law.

Coming out of the pandemic, we have an opportunity to save lives by bolstering Federal resources that support community mental health and substance use services.

My bill supports clinics that hire and train more staff that make it possible for people to receive timely and high-quality care under a comprehensive primary and behavioral health treatment model.

The CSB improves the safety of American workers, communities, and the environment by investigating the root causes of these tragic events and making recommendations to prevent them in the future.

Good morning. Today's oversight hearing covers one of our small but incredibly important independent agencies, the Chemical Safety Board, or CSB.

Does the agency plan to provide a formal response to that letter?

I look forward to hearing how the Chairperson is positioning the agency to address these growing strategic challenges.

It was last--way last March that this--a different subcommittee, the Health Subcommittee, had a hearing on disinformation.

Experts agree the best place for children is in the classroom--but only if steps are taken to make schools a safe place.

Another tool in our toolbox to keep children safe is accessible testing.

Today, the Subcommittee continues to focus on its top priority: aggressively exploring how to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end.

As Chair of this Subcommittee, I will continue to make ending the pandemic my top priority.

We all want an end to COVID-19 in our classrooms and in our communities, and I will work with the ranking member to make sure that's exactly what we do.

I thank all the witnesses today. I particularly want to focus my questions with Dr. Beers.

Curbing COVID-19 has been and, unfortunately, still remains this subcommittee's top priority until we bring the pandemic to an end.

Frankly, that approval cannot come soon enough.
