I believe that includes a moral obligation to ensure that all Americans have access to clean, safe, and reliable water services.

Today, we are going to expand upon those efforts, focusing on the law's drinking water programs.

Miles to go before we sleep.

Thanks for making the extra effort to join us.

We work in very bipartisan fashion, which I know you try to do at every opportunity.

Everything I do, I know I can do better. I think everything we do, we know we can do better.

Nearly 2 years after becoming law, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping to make clean water a reality for millions of households, for schools, and childcare facilities across our country.

I feel it again today. We did a lot of good work toward the end of just before we broke for the recess.

I will never forget that day, an 89 to 2 vote on something, as that came right through our Committee, and something that we are enormously proud of.

Good morning, everybody. I hope we remember how to do this. It has been a while since we have sat in this room, at this table, but we are delighted to be able to do it today.

We have plenty of work still to do, but I am encouraged that we are more than up to that.

For justice delayed is justice denied. We want to make sure that these positions are filled, filled with well-qualified jurors.

I think it is, I would use the word shameful, in the way that the city has delayed consideration of nominees for judicial posts in the District of Columbia too often and in past years.

DOT committed to filing the charter and publishing a notice in the Federal Register for the Advisory Board by the end of September.

I had expected to come in, coming in on a train today, to see a different Chairman up here.

I'm proud to join the Chairman of today's hearing, Senator Coons, in giving Magistrate Jennifer Hall my very strongest possible endorsement.

It's an honor to be here with you, once again, for the Senate Judiciary Committee to introduce an exceptional judicial nominee.

Judge Hall is an ideal candidate for this seat because of her unique blend of skills, and experience, and her intimate familiarity with our district.

Like find out what works, do more of that? Learn from mistakes, laboratories of democracy.

Senator Kelly, thank you for being here today and for adding to this hearing.

Should we require manufacturers to pay into municipal collection programs?

What clarifications or updates to existing statutes would help create a reliable environment for private investments and job creation in the recycling sector?

In addition, taking proper care of our electronic waste is vital to national security, as it ensures adequate supply chains and prevents the loss of sensitive information through digital files.

That is a pretty good to do list.

I am going to repeat it and ask other witnesses if they would like to make a comment as well.
