We are in a climate emergency. We are seeing the impacts from climate change in our communities every day.
I agree that carbon capture has a critical role to play in developing climate solutions.
Every 22 hours, a Delaware family loses a loved one to an overdose. Unfortunately, that figure may increase due to the proliferation of synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Fentanyl has made this national public health emergency increasingly…
Our nation is in the middle of an opioid crisis. There are an average of 130 Americans dying from an opioid overdose every single day.
Simply put, extending orphan drug designation in this manner would have been inconsistent with the intention of the Orphan Drug Act.
Climate change is fueling extreme weather, which impacts every part of our country.
The science is clear; we must transition to a 100 percent clean economy, energy economy, as quickly as possible if we are going to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
Does section 6 of the bill give EPA sufficient authority to address refrigerant management and work to minimize emissions?
And so I am strongly in support of this bill, and I hope that my colleagues will also recognize the time is now.
We are obviously interested in making sure that this new regulatory program would be implemented efficiently.

climate change is real, that we must address it on a global level, and that the United States must be a leader.

I have long believed that the FDA's authority in this area is woefully inadequate to keep up with an industry that has evolved considerably since Congress has last legislated in this space.
I am concerned that, increasingly, the increasingly global market that FDA has is--you are not equipped to properly oversee the safety of cosmetic and personal care products.
Today's hearing is important, and I am glad that we are looking at the policy solutions we need to prioritize and protect frontline communities that are hit worst by impacts from both pollution and climate change.
There are so many reasons. Number one, many people in my State say they can't even find affordable housing.
I am proud to report that last week the Energy and Commerce Committee advanced H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act. We also passed out of committee H.R. 4671, the Helping Seniors Afford Healthcare Act, which I introduced with my…
It is important that people have confidence and faith in these institutions, and the way we answer questions exhibits that confidence and faith.
The science is clear: We must transition to a 100 percent clean energy economy as quickly as possible and if we are going to avert the impacts of climate change.
This hearing is really significant, and as Ms. Oyama said, I want us to not forget the important things that the internet has provided to us.
