We don't believe the program needs to be thrown out, but stakeholders need to figure out what is and isn't working.

I supported the bill because it has essential provisions that Mr. Payne championed.

Under current PHMSA authority, there are inadequate penalties for vandalism of pipeline facilities.

I do not want to see any pipeline incidents, but I am particularly concerned when they occur at or near a school.

I supported the bill because it has important provisions that Mr. Payne championed, and I associate myself with his work on these efforts.

I am proud that this bipartisan pipeline safety bill strongly focuses on pipeline safety.

I was just in Jackson, Mississippi, with Congressman Thompson and meeting with the community there that was affected by a tragic fatality.

I think public engagement has been an area where the industry, the regulators have all fallen a bit short.

I don't think that we are making sufficient progress in keeping our communities safe.

I write to you on behalf of the U.S. Climate Alliance (Alliance), a bipartisan coalition of 24 governors committed to climate action.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I am honored to be here on the floor of the U.S. Capitol to kick off this Special Order hour on Black men and boys. I am Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, chair of the U.S. Commission on the Social…

We are the Education Committee, and we have done nothing to ensure that hungry students in our classrooms and college campuses have access to food so that they can learn and not worry about going hungry.

Since food is necessary to live, it should be free for all students who cannot pay.

So, in south Florida, an investment in water infrastructure means an investment in our public health, ecosystem, and economy.

We must make conscious decisions to invest Federal dollars where they are most crucial and beneficial.

The key to our collective success lies in early investments in our children's education.

Thank you so much for coming to Miami earlier this month, to highlight career technical education and after school programs.
