That, to me, is over-reach of the Secretary's authority, and without legal basis.

I want to make sure that we understand that. It is not under Fish and Wildlife jurisdiction.

Mr. Chairman, I can't thank all of you enough for being here, and thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing because this is a national emergency.

Every day we lose over 200 people as a result of fentanyl poisoning.

I have been to the border eight times in that ten years that I have been a Member of Congress.

Every time it has gotten worse, and now it is worse.

It is poisoning our citizens.

I have set a number of goals with my priorities of what I want to accomplish in the environment setting.

Four percent of all retail pharmacies, of independent retail pharmacies, are closing every year.

Ninety-five percent of all Americans live within five miles of a pharmacy.

Thank you for your commitment to the American people. Thank you for being in Louisiana.

I am the sponsor of the fair tax.

Our current tax code... is built on government control.

I feel like this is one of the most inappropriate and blatant examples of picking--of the Government picking winners and losers that I have ever witnessed.

There is no better example of the Federal Government picking winners and losers than what we are witnessing right here.

You stop the ports, and we have major economic problems in my area, not just for the Savannah area, not just for the coast, but the whole southeast United States.

We want to protect the right whale. The right whale is the state mammal of Georgia. We love the right whale. We want to protect it.

I am very worried about the speed restrictions that are imposed by NOAA's rule that would shut down all these thriving communities and kill our blue economy all up and down the coast.

I care deeply about the coast of Georgia. I care deeply about our economy.
