It is a priority for the American people.

We need to ensure it gets across the finish line, because China is not waiting on us.

Time is of the essence.

I congratulate the gentlewoman on her chairmanship and I look forward to working with her. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this legislation. It is high time to stop the Biden administration from continuing to provide China with oil from…

I thank the staff for doing an outstanding job on this bill. It was not easy to find consensus, but we persevered. We did not give up. We didn't give up, and guess what? The American people are going to be benefiting from this. That is the…

In closing, I wish this bill would pass in a bipartisan fashion, so that we can get it to the Senate. I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 1645

I encourage us to pass this bill as soon as possible in a bipartisan fashion, and I yield back the balance of my time.

This is a real good bill, a bipartisan bill. We worked very hard on it, and we have a great sponsor here and a Republican sponsor in Representative Buddy Carter, and I urge that we pass this as soon as possible. I assume the Senate will…

I am calling on President Biden to invest in our combat readiness and keep this center open so that our world-class military service members have the world-class training they deserve.

I am advocating for the inclusion of my bill H.R. 1282, the Major Richard Star Act, into the FY23 NDAA.

I hope that means this is a precursor, and not a substitute... for passing a national privacy and data security law.

I urge the Committee to advance this important, lifesaving bill through a vote of the full House, because I would hope we can all agree that a child born alive has a right to live.

This bipartisan bill would direct HRSA to develop and test oral health literacy strategies capable of reaching across vulnerable populations.

I feel blessed to, of course, represent the 12th Congressional District in the State of Florida, but also to sit on this committee and make a real difference, because this is the best committee in Congress, without question.

The Biden administration's message to many Americans is that we may not receive our Christmas and holiday gifts this year on time because of the supply chain issues.

I hope that we will get the opportunity to look at that bill, and I hope we will get the opportunity to call that bill up.

That is why I have introduced a bipartisan bill, the MADE in America Act, manufacturing aids to pharmaceuticals and drugs and excipients here in America.

We have known for a long time that we were too dependent on other countries for our PPE, for our drugs, and the pharmaceutical ingredients.

First, I want to reemphasize my sincerity and thanks to you, Madam Chair, for H.R. 4594, the Restoring Brand USA Act.

This is a sound solution that protects consumers online, while also protecting the private information of small online entrepreneurs.

I am glad to see the Restoring Brand USA Act on the docket today that I introduced with my friend Peter Welch.

This legislation will release the dollars already collected for the Brand USA program to help return our travel and tourism industry back to its former glory.

This legislation will create a uniform national standard to provide consumers with clarity, transparency, and enhanced protections from malicious actors online who look to pawn stolen goods or sell dangerous counterfeits.

I want to commend my friend, the chair of the committee, Chairwoman Schakowsky, for her leadership on the INFORM Consumers Act and working with me to reach a strong bipartisan agreement.
