Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Experts tell us there are two kinds of climate-related risk: natural risks that I just asked you each about; and the risk to financial positions for transitioning away from things like fossil fuels to other energy sources.

I'm real concerned about that. And can the U.S. Government support the commercial space industry with its allies in global standards bodies?

I heard some references to giving FAA more authority to regulate space, and I just want to share with you...

Have you noticed any attempts to capture any of our resources and knowledge?

What additional safeguards does the National Quantum Initiative need to put in place to prevent countries of concern like China from stealing our research?

And, unfortunately, I'm kind of sad to hear it's more like Congress, you know?

I would say if we eliminated the 10-basis points on top of guarantee fees today for payroll tax, that would go a long way, too.

A housing shortage for everyone to have a home is nothing new. That has been around since the beginning.

The Administration is raising rates to try and stop the inflation that it caused because it is trying to kill the fossil fuel industry.

When I first read the proposal that we are going to charge people with good credit more, and we are going to charge people with poor credit less, I thought it was a bad joke.

I would really like to know what specific authority that Congress said we want you to set speed limits in the ocean.

What specific statutory authority to set speed limits in the ocean?

And we're on course.

Any chance that could be delayed, sounder could be delayed?

My questions are answered, Mr. Chairman. I yield back. Thank you.

As I recall, this committee was told there wouldn't be any bank failures like this if we created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). I am kind of shocked we are here if the CFPB was doing its job.

I think we want the United States and likeminded partners to take a leadership role in making sure that our values are instilled in AI global standards.

Do you concur with the National Security Agency that the Chinese Communist Party is co-opting international standards?

Why does FEMA continue to resist making all of the data and methods models that they use, the calculations and how they calculate it under Risk Rate 2.0, completely and fully transparent?

When I was first elected 14 years ago, they said that to properly evaluate risk, they needed new maps, which would cost $500 million, and then, it would take 3 to 5 years to evaluate the maps.

I would think once you paid for total loss, you say, okay this is off the map, we are not going to insure this property again, much less more than 10 times, thousands of properties, perhaps.

OK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.

To each of the panelists, how will stakeholders be able to appeal decisions by NOAA?

Yes, how can we learn from the past to better ensure that both GeoXO and NEON remain on schedule?
