I am convinced that that has the single greatest leverage in terms of achieving progress on climate change.

CDFIs are mission-driven and are committed to serve in economically distressed areas.

Wow, tremendous testimony, tremendous story, for real people.

I was talking to ``Jay'' Powell about this yesterday, and the research that is being done within the Federal Reserve System, because there is a lot of research to be done for this to be better understood.

I will just simply note for the record that my constituents are pleased when the wait times go down, and just desperately annoyed and angry when the wait times go up, and improving IRS service standards is something that I would hope all…

But, but we absolutely will need more resources for NICS following that, because otherwise it is just a short term fix.

Well, I look forward to that continued partnership and to strengthening and deepening it.

I think all of us are concerned about steadily increasing efforts by China in espionage, in trade secret theft...

Well, I look forward to getting an updated request from you in that regard.

The right to vote is too precious a thing to allow it to be taken away by state legislatures around the country.

President Biden has been clear, has been forceful and has been engaged about the importance of protecting the right to vote.

I think we should look back at the 2020 election and be improving access to the ballot and the ability of states to ensure that the will of the electorate is respected.

I am gravely concerned that this will be a greenlight to Republicans, particularly in state legislators around the country to move ahead with more steps they will restrict the right to vote.

The kinds of reforms that the For the People Act would have put in place would have guaranteed better and broader access to the right to vote for Americans of all backgrounds in both parties.

I don't know if there's anything we can do to get Republicans on board with protecting access to the ballot with voting rights.

The character of warfare, as you both testified, is changing and our budget needs to reflect that.

I am hopeful that this budget will allow us to work more closely with allies and partners.

Several of my colleagues have raised concerns about the timing and the planning for the retrograde operations in Afghanistan

I think this is a crucial defense budget.

I think we are all watching conditions in the Taiwan Strait closely, and this week's entry of 28 Chinese military aircraft into Taiwan's air defense identification zone.

I thought it was an important opportunity for us to make real our response to Taiwan's kindness to us in the early days of the pandemic.

We were grateful for Senators Duckworth, Sullivan, and Coons visiting Taiwan to announce that donation

The Administration has been very clear in calling this out, condemning China's attempts to intimidate its neighbors in the region to include Taiwan.

I was so grateful for the opportunity, facilitated by the Administration, to visit Taiwan with Senators Duckworth and Sullivan to announce the delivery of vaccines to Taiwan.
