To prevent this, I support bipartisan efforts to enhance U.S. engagement in the region and support efforts to bolster the security of Guam.

Higher energy prices is a regressive tax on middle and lower-income families.

We know now that renewables cannot make up for fossil fuels.

Higher energy prices hurt working families, which is so ironic when I hear the other side profess to sympathize with the struggles of working families.

In 2020, President Biden said, 'I want you to look at my eyes. I guarantee you, I guarantee you, we are going to end fossil fuel.'

But the Biden administration would rather forego these good-paying jobs and ship them to our adversarial nations overseas.

If the Biden administration continues to block offshore leasing, these funds will begin to dry up.

While the global oil market thrives, it is disheartening to witness the absence of investment opportunities here in the United States.

If the Department of the Interior does not take the necessary steps now to begin the NEPA process and begin to initiate an offshore oil and gas lease sale in 2024, the United States will fail to hold an offshore lease sale involving the…

Frankly, I believe the role of our Federal agencies is to get out of the way and, instead, partner with these local communities.

I want to thank my colleague from Virginia, Representative Kiggans, for putting forth the Military and Veterans in Parks Act.

So, Ambassador Yun, can more be done in the language and in the deal to create jobs, and infrastructure, and things like this that would prevent China from getting a foothold in the future with the hearts and minds of the people of these…

I have a huge concern that money transfers, as good as they are, as positive as they are, if they are open ended, they may not accomplish what we want them to accomplish.

The fact that China is trying to spread its influence in malign and negative ways makes this even more important.

The United States is not perfect, but we are very generous. And China does not do anything out of generosity.

I would love to see the money that is given out over the next 20 years create jobs, lead to better infrastructure, and just more prosperity.

I would strongly encourage consideration of the Mount Rushmore Protection Act, and I thank the committee once again for the opportunity to testify.

I am also proud to support a bill introduced by my friend and colleague, Elise Stefanik, the American Battlefield Protection Program Enhancement Act.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on this Committee on both sides of the aisle to ensure our National Mall reflects these important aspects of our American history.

We also hear about support for our tribal community. We hear about supporting tribal sovereignty. But as we will discuss in a hearing later today, the Navajo were ignored when it came to the Chaco Canyon withdrawal.

It is not lost on me that just a few short years ago the National Park Service was testifying before Congress in opposition to locating this very monument on the National Mall.

Coal is one of the building blocks of America.

If you want to beat Putin in the Ukraine, stop printing money we don't have and unleash American energy.

There is no need for a coal moratorium.

The policy on coal leasing, which appears to be no coal leasing, is only part of the misguided effort to eliminate one of the most reliable, abundant, low-cost energy sources for US consumers.
