We just introduced legislation to authorize it. It would put to work thousands and thousands of young Americans...

Half of that segment is highly vulnerable to flooding and could result in a total shutdown because there is no alternate route.

Pre-pandemic, it carried 12 million passengers every year in a single day without service on the NEC, would cost the economy $100 million.

I am pleased that President Biden's American Jobs Plan includes 80 billion for Amtrak.

I think this is an urgent and significant issue that we are talking about.

Thank you both. Thank you for your testimony.

Would you agree that if platforms have algorithms that are actually designed to hold the attention of viewers and to engage them by delivering more and more extremist content to people who start going down these so-called rabbit holes then…

I have been really troubled to hear that Russia is actively engaging in a disinformation campaign to suggest that somehow American-sourced vaccines are less effective than Sputnik.

Our global competitor, Russia, is engaging in a disinformation campaign to dissuade folks in Central America, South America, and elsewhere from using U.S.-delivered and developed vaccines.

Our global competitor, China, is busy sending out a vaccine that has been demonstrated to have a significantly lower efficacy.

We have got the deserved reputation as a global public health leader.

Let me just commend the Administration. We are at a point of having 110 million or more Americans vaccinated.

I have heard from hundreds and hundreds of Delawareans over recent years who want our troops to come home.

I will continue to support robust development assistance for the Afghan Government and the Afghan people, but not if there is a takeover by the Taliban.

We have got to start keeping in mind for future generations, that just because this is a Federal Government and we do not have a balanced budget amendment, that we have got to be a better steward of our country's resources

I want to just make sure that our goal here is not just to fix what's broken but to actually improve performance, improve experience.

I'm a co-sponsor of the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, a new Federal tax credit to cover the cost of building or renovating a home in a distressed area.

I'm grateful for the investments the President's proposing in housing as infrastructure for communities.

I've just introduced the bipartisan and bicameral Scale Act which provides financing and authorization programmatic support for large-scale carbon dioxide transport and storage infrastructure.

It remains my hope that infrastructure investment can and should be a bipartisan priority, but we need to do what we can and be urgent about the important work of making our country more competitive and more resilient.

One of the areas of the very broad proposal in the American Jobs Plan I'm excited about is the Civilian Climate Corps.

Housing provides the platform on which everything else good happens in families and communities.

I'm excited to work with you on President Biden's agenda to build back better our Nation and to address the need for infrastructure investment and for the creation of jobs.

I would like to start a discussion that maybe can bear fruit over time here and get the Business Roundtable and other groups on the business side that support a price on carbon.

I would expect that there’s going to be some accountability politically for those who refuse to help finish the job and get us out of this pandemic.
