Again, I support the en bloc as stated earlier, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Really quick, on page 11 of the bill it specifically states that the plans proposed to be adopted by OSHA would ``be tailored and specific to conditions and hazards for the covered facility or the covered service, including…

Just to be clear, Madam Speaker, that CBO score is not per facility. That score is spread out over 200,000 healthcare centers. If you do the math, it is actually $9,000 per year per facility. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the…

I would just note that the bill language explicitly protects a comment period for all stakeholders, including hospitals and every other institution affected by it. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms…

Very briefly, again, I appreciate that Ms. Foxx acknowledges the severity of this issue, and I think that is important. But I would note, if anyone checks with the House Clerk's office, we actually have a solid number of Republican…

Well, again, we're, just so you know, in the House, even though we don't get to vote on that, we will have a bipartisan resolution with myself and Congressman Young from Alaska calling on the Senate to really, again, the world has been…

I hope you share this, the tone, the tenor of this conversation and all of our witnesses.

So, I'm not depressed by that. I am encouraged by how far we've come.

It is really time that the U.S. get in the game in terms of being able to stake claims for seabed minerals.

I support the accession to UNCLOS. I think it puts us in a more strategic position.

If you disagree with that Constitution and you disagree with the laws of this country so strongly that you think our government is no longer legitimate, then you have no business serving in the United States military and you should get out…

I applaud the fact that NAVSEA is going that route.

I want those facilities modernized, and I want to know how you are going to do it, when you are going to do it, and how much money you need to do it.

I really would like to know what you are going to do over the next 5 years so that we can look at the MILCON [Military Construction], as well as the O&M [operations and maintenance] operations.

I want to make sure that this subcommittee is fully aware and that the services are prepared to service that new equipment.

I am calling this the big data AI [artificial intelligence] initiative.

Great. Well, thank you. That is very helpful.

But it is just again maybe the deployment of it might be just a little bit...

I just want to make sure...

I couldn't agree more.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for a briefing regarding the unmanned systems in Department of Navy.

Only the U.S. Congress can lower that rate.
