Overall, this Congress' effort to examine the cause of the pandemic has brought more heat than light.

I thank Mr. Pallone for yielding the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 6960, the Emergency Medical Services for Children Reauthorization Act. I am proud to lead the effort with the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter), my good…

I thank Mr. Pallone for yielding the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 6132, the Awning Safety Act, which passed out of the Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously. I thank Representative Balderson for working with me…

I thank Ranking Member Pallone for yielding the time. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to H.R. 6192, a Republican bill that will burden American families with higher costs. This is not a serious bill, Mr. Chair, but it is emblematic of the…

I thank my good friend, Mr. Huffman, for yielding the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 6285. Mr. Speaker, while Democrats are working hard to lower the cost of living for Americans and protect our communities, House…

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Castor of Florida moves to recommit the bill H.R. 6285 to the Committee on Natural Resources…

Because I couldn't help our good friend from Louisiana when he was talking about how unfettered oil and gas will really help lower bills, on the front page of my hometown paper today, the Tampa Bay Times, was a story about why our electric…

We should be holding today's witness accountable, of which we have bipartisan agreement, but this should not distract us from our ultimate goal: future pandemic preparedness.

Sowing distrust in the scientific and medical communities is not a way to accomplish this goal.

Advocacy really matters. This is not a done deal yet.

I thank our ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee for yielding. Madam Speaker, I was listening to the debate on the floor this morning and there is so much doom and gloom. There is too much of it. I believe in America. I…

I thank Ms. Schrier for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act. It is critical legislation that I am proud to co-lead to address the maternal mortality crisis in…

I thank Mr. Pallone for yielding me time. I rise today to oppose the GOP's latest love letter to Big Oil and Gas here the day after Valentine's Day. This Republican bill is a giant handout to Big Oil and Gas that will enrich our…

I had to come down to the floor to speak out strongly against the Republican's pro-China bill. The Republican Party wants to take us backwards. They want to raise costs on American families, and, in doing so, a lot of people ask why? Why…

I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.'' Please tank this bill which takes us backwards.

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Castor of Florida moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4394 to the Committee on Appropriations. The…

I thank Ranking Member Kaptur for her leadership in yielding the time and I thank the gentleman from Tennessee and all the professional staff who have been working hard over the past day and a half to get appropriations back on track in…

We write to you today because we have serious safety concerns about the lack of data being collected by the Federal government with respect to autonomous vehicles (AVs) now operating freely on the streets of San Francisco, California, and…

Oversight and Investigations is going to be very important because of the significant responsibilities and resources to the Department of Energy.

We want these jobs to be American jobs. We want to build our supply chains.

I think that is our intent, too, to make sure that the Department of Energy has the tools it needs to vet these projects.

These investments are smart. They are accelerating the use of American-made clean energy that is cheaper and more sustainable.

Instead of trying to find ways to undermine important Federal programs or holding our economy hostage through a manufactured crisis, let's turn the page and work together to help our neighbors back home and the American people.

We are freeing ourselves from big oil companies and utilities that keep fuel prices high and put profits over people.
