Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the first ever Energy and Commerce Committee chairwoman and my friend, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, for her excellent work in leading the most bipartisan committee in Congress. Under her leadership, the committee has worked effectively, efficiently, and in a bipartisan manner to advance legislation that will improve the life of all Americans. Chair Rodgers introduced bipartisan legislation that would provide necessary resources for Down syndrome research. She has also led us in combating the Biden administration's damaging overregulation and war on American energy. I was proud to work with her on the ADVANCE Act to enhance our civil nuclear leadership, which is now law. She also held insightful hearings on TikTok and the threat that it poses to our youth and national security. Her time as the chair enhanced the United States and its citizens, and we will surely miss her. We surely wish her well in her retirement. I thank Cathy for all her work. ____________________
