That's why I'm a member of the New Dems Climate Task Force. Our goal is to put forth an ambitious pro-climate AND pro-market agenda.

We cannot let the enormity of the issue overwhelm us, we must start addressing this problem immediately.

Returning revenue from carbon fees directly to the people as carbon dividends--payments to every person--would transform carbon pricing from a regressive policy into a progressive one.

Climate change has a price, and this legislation makes sure that big polluters are the ones paying it.

Ultimately one point that I think you and I both agree on is that the tools that the FTC has under existing statute, in my view, and I suspect perhaps in yours, could be strengthened.

There are a number of us in both Chambers of the Congress who were deeply disappointed, in our view, with the terms of the settlement, a $5 billion settlement.

Thank you for your leadership in hosting this important hearing.

Today is a serious and solemn day for our country. The House's impeachment inquiry has exposed the truth and uncovered significant evidence that the President abused his power. To honor the oath to defend the Constitution that each of us…

I want to say a deep note of gratitude to my distinguished colleague and my good friend from Colorado (Mr. Crow), who served our country so bravely and so honorably. We are all deeply grateful for his service in the Armed Forces and, of…

While I appreciate my colleague's statement-- and I don't know that I heard a particular answer to the fundamental question as to whether or not he would be supportive of this bill were his amendment to pass--again, I think we are trying…

I would like to claim time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized for 5 minutes.

The section of the bill that the Representative referenced, in my reading of the bill and in my understanding of the bill, already includes some language that is nearly identical regarding Federal water rights. But, that being said, I made…

We will continue to do that important work, and I appreciate the gentleman's statement in that regard. And I concur with it. It is worth mentioning--I don't know that it has been mentioned yet during this debate: We have worked very hard…

I have great respect for my colleague from Arkansas. I know he has a deep experience in his field, I appreciate him on the Natural Resources Committee, and I enjoy serving with him on that committee. I would ask my distinguished colleague…

I appreciate Representative Tipton, my distinguished colleague, for mentioning that. I would say a few things. First, of the nine counties that are impacted, as I mentioned, eight of them have expressed support for the provisions of the…

Woman, I am happy to yield to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tipton) to give him a moment to respond. It seemed like he had something to say.

Clearly, there's somewhere in the middle here where I think we all can come to an agreement that noncompetes may be appropriate in certain circumstances, but the way in which they're being abused in a variety of different industries and…

You don't get the labor exemption. We've seen that kind of gaming at the border, so we need broad action to reinstate the original congressional purposes.

This notion that we can't adapt, that removing microplastics--suddenly we all will be amiss--with the realities of trying to replace the plastic tube that carries toothpaste, to me is a false choice.

It is beyond disheartening to hear that our veterans are not being given the appropriate level of review on their immigration cases.

If you want to take care of your children, you have to start addressing these incredibly inconvenient things

Fundamentally, we all collectively are going to have to adopt strategies that enable us to move into a future in which microplastics are not polluting our planet.

I think a lot about the world that she will inherit. And much of the work that we do here in this Committee and in this Congress is about fighting to make sure that the world she inherits is a better one than we did.

I am such a small part of this world, but I want to do everything I can to fix this problem.

For my constituents, who are suffering from this reality every day, ultimately, for the people across this Nation and the world who are doing the same, it is imperative that we address this issue.
