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 thank the chairman of the Budget Committee for his and his committee staff's steady hand over the last couple of months to make sure that the American Rescue Plan was enacted last week. Mr. Speaker, in that week's time up to today, the…

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.

Thank you Chairwoman Adams, and thank you for again bringing H.R. 1195 onto this agenda again as Dr. Michaels indicated...

OSHA takes 10 years or more to issue a standard.
