Isn't that an amazing number? Have you heard that before, 70 percent within a mile of federally assisted housing?

I would just mention a couple of things.

I am encouraged about this effort to advance environmental justice. I think we all are.

Achieving the President's climate goals is going to require EPA to be performing at its best.

Last week, the Administration pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent to 52 percent from 2005 levels by 2030 as part of an international climate summit organized by the President.

I am also encouraged to see the Administration treat the ever growing threat of the climate crisis with the urgency that it deserves.

While President Biden has only released a bare bones budget to date, it is clear that the Administration's priorities are aligned, at least in my view, with the needs of the American people.

I appreciate the leadership that you and Senator Ben Cardin have provided on some aspects of our water infrastructure legislation.

We look forward to hearing from you about how you plan to bring us to that brighter future.

We have Joe Biden as our President, our old colleague as our President.

I am pleased that President Biden's proposed fiscal year 2022 budget would largely restore the agency's degraded capacity by increasing its budget by roughly 20 percent.

We want to keep that routine as long as we can.

The President's budget reflects the vision of this Nation that we can look to for inspiration as we work together to deliver on the promises of cleaner air, cleaner water in every zip code.

If we are going to successfully cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of this decade while creating millions of new jobs, we need a strong EPA that uses science as its north star.

The challenges before us are great.

At no time in recent memory has the need for investment in American health been more urgent than today, as we emerge from the worst pandemic in 100 years.

I quoted Oliver Wendell Holmes, who said that taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.

Last week our President celebrated Earth Day by committing the United States to becoming 50-percent cleaner in terms of greenhouse gas emissions by the end of the decade.

Through my work on this committee, and as chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, I remain committed to passing laws that would drive down dangerous emissions and clean energy costs for consumers, help tackle the…

I recently introduced the Securing America's Clean Fuels Infrastructure Act with Senator Richard Burr.

A 2010 report of the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) recommended adopting private sector pension cost allocation methods for the postal account within the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) to more accurately, more…

The Postal Service has the obligation, some say the burden, of going to every mailbox in the country roughly six times a week.

Exclusions should not be the normal course of business and should be time-limited, where they are provided, to spur the development of domestic capacity.

When I think of some of the dumbest things that we have done in recent years in terms of trade, that is high on the list.

I think it is important to rejoin the CPTPP, as it is now.
