Michael Waltz said "This is why I offered an amendment to replace the critical materials text in H.R. 4447 with the American Critical Mineral Exploration Act, and I was disappointed to see it was not made in order. I find this surprising, since my bill serves as an expanded companion to the Senate's Critical Mineral Security Act, which was included in Chairwoman Murkowski's American Energy Innovation Act, and House Democrats claim the goal of H.R. 4447 is to mirror that package. We clearly see that is not to be the case. It is time to get back to work on clean energy solutions, on bipartisan solutions, and addressing China. It is time to act on our promises of bipartisanship. The majority has now canceled our agreements on the China Task Force, clean energy, and critical minerals. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this legislation." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
