Investments in research and development of new sustainable materials and recycling technologies will help the environment and the U.S. economy.

The U.S. has a new opportunity to lead in the development of a circular economy of plastics.

The U.S. recycling infrastructure has failed to keep up with the booming plastics market.

I'm an avid recycler, and my 17-year-old daughter keeps me on track in that regard.

Our shipyards are old. They're small. They can't handle the fleet of today, much less the fleet of tomorrow.

We need to understand our past.

I would encourage you--I would demand that you get to the bottom of what is going on in the force.

I cannot think of anything more divisive and more destructive to unit morale.

I think you'll see certainly support from this foxhole.

The Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP) is intended to modernize our aging shipyards.

I don't think many American people see a big distinction if the interface or the control center for a pipeline is taken out from a missile, sabotage, or cyber.

Should this be handed off if it's coming externally and should you--do you believe you have the authority if we have the political will, if you're given the instruction, to take military action against these groups?

I think you're getting at precisely what I'm questioning, and it's that dynamic of who has the lead within the U.S. Government.

We need to make sure we don't repeat those mistakes.

This strategy will help the U.S. remain competitive on a global scale, and stay a leader in cross-cutting innovation.

I think the question before us is how do we spur regional innovation to ensure all Americans have the opportunity to participate in the innovation economy?

One of the reasons that... I think that pipeline is very dangerous is because it is carrying the dirtiest form of natural gas on earth.

I think there's an established pattern that if Putin wanted to stop these attacks, he certainly could.

What level of engagement did you have--what type of engagement do you have with our European allies on the lifting of sanctions on Nord Stream?

The recent SolarWinds, Microsoft Exchange, and Colonial Pipeline incidents make it clear that the United States is continuously being targeted with malicious cyber-attacks.

Time truly is of the essence here. It's imperative that we modernize these defenses and get ahead of our adversaries.

I urge my colleagues to support these measures.

I am convinced that a lot of that is a byproduct of us moving now generations away from service.

Everyone should have the opportunity to serve, but not everyone can afford to deviate from the traditional employment pathways.

I think we are going to be accountable the next time we have an attack like Pulse Nightclub or San Bernardino.
