I do not support this alternative and believe that the lowering of the pool does not meet the requirements of the WIIN Act, and is unacceptable.

The Corps has been challenging to work with at every turn.

In fact, it will cost more to remove the current lock and dam than to fix it.

We should not waste millions of taxpayer dollars and remove the lock and dam structure on an alternative that we are not sure will work.

Thank you, Chairwoman, and I appreciate the opportunity to be here with you today.

In fact, the 115th Congress, previous Congress, when we had the Majority, we worked on legislation to deal with forest management.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia will be postponed. Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mrs. Hayes The Acting CHAIR. It is now…

The fact of the matter is that right-to-work States are stronger, growing faster, and more prosperous. The Federal Government has no business outright banning right-to-work laws that are so successful in many States across the Nation. Why…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Strike subsection (k) of section 2. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 833, the gentleman from…

We want to thank you, Congressman Kilmer, with regard to updating the civil rights crisis, 'Broken Promises.'

We ask Congress to provide us with additional resources to be able to address these impacts if Keystone is built.

The American people for the most part are very generous people. And if they know there are needs there, particularly, Ms. Gonzalez, in your situation, certainly I would think the American people would respond.

First and foremost, we need high quality options for parents and families that meet their unique needs and support children's development in the critical years, those early years of their life.

I think we are headed down the wrong path.

Parents are the ultimate decider of their child's care and education no matter the child's age.

In fact, I really truly am ashamed of all of my colleagues here in Congress because there has been no bipartisan effort to fix it, and that is shameful.

In your written testimony, you mentioned that perhaps most critically, forest infrastructure provides fire protection for communities.

And then to that, can you further elaborate on the potential threat the deferred maintenance poses on being able to respond to wildfires?

Due to the deferred maintenance backlog, how many miles of Forest Service system roads have been decommissioned over the past 10 years?

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for being with us today.

You are looking at Members of this Committee who are Members of the United States Congress, and you need more funding?

Why is the President negotiating with China? Because they are stealing all our intellectual capital.

In a free market environment. There is no question that free markets drive innovation.

What I have been able to observe is nobody in healthcare is happy.

Farm income was down 55 percent, and this was before we ever got into trade negotiations.
