H.R. 1315 is a jobs bill designed to train underserved groups, including women, minorities, veterans, unemployed energy workers, and returning citizens, among others, for the energy jobs and careers of the present and future.

I want to thank you, Madam Chairlady, and I certainly appreciate you and the ranking member having this hearing this morning, and I appreciate your longstanding leadership on all issues related to consumer protection.

You stated that people are dying because of Section 6(b). Those are your statements. Am I quoting you correctly?

No American should be forced to make the choice between paying their bills and buying their pills.

I am proud to continue my fight to stop drug companies from rigging the system in order to take advantage of hardworking Americans.

My bill prohibits the practice of, quote, 'pay-for-delay,' end of quote, in which brand-name drug companies compensate generic drug manufacturers to delay the entry of cheaper drugs into the market.

The Protecting Consumer Access to Generic Drugs Act prohibits these Pay for Delay agreements outright.

I want to thank you, Madam Chairman.

Someone with insurance should not have to worry about filing for bankruptcy or not having access to lifesaving treatment.

These junk plans are not about consumer choice and freedom. These products are a risk to people's health and to their economic security.

Plain and simple, these plans are nothing but garbage.

I want to thank all of our invited guests for being here today to testify at today's hearing entitled, 'Wasted Energy: DOE's Inaction on Efficiency Standards and Its Impact on Consumers and the Climate.'

Let me be crystal clear, DOE's failure to update the 16 appliance and equipment standards that were adopted and finalized during the Obama administration, violates its statutory obligations under Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA).

It is very, very disturbing to me that DOE, under the current administration, has invested so much valuable time in working on two new proposals that are both unnecessary and would actually harm consumers.

this proposed light bulb rollback will cost the average American household an extra $100 a year, and overall, consumers will be forced to pay an additional $12 million between now and 2025 on electric bills.

The Chair wants to thank the full committee chairman. The Chair now recognizes Mr. Latta of Ohio for 5 minutes.

This failure to follow the law, which was enacted on a bipartisan basis under George W. Bush, could potentially cost consumers billions of dollars in higher energy bills, while also creating uncertainty for domestic manufacturers.

a typical household saves about $500 per year because of the current standards, making energy conservation standards the most efficient tool DOE has for making anything more affordable for the average American.

I want to thank the gentle lady. And I also want to extend my apologies to her for misidentifying her state.

While seemingly trivial, this is just one example of the real-world impediments that people of color across the country face because of the lack of representation in the technology industry.

Madam Chairman, it should be clear that, while the issue and emergency in tech may seem like a relatively straightforward problem, its ramifications are much bigger and go much deeper than it would appear.

the President came to the district when he was campaigning and said he was going to reduce the average cost of healthcare for the average family by $2,500 a year.

Madame Chairwoman, it should be clear that while the issue of diversity in tech may seem like a relatively straightforward problem, its ramifications are much bigger and go much deeper than it would appear.

This same phenomenon has been repeated in facial recognition technology that mistakenly identified 28 Members of Congress, myself included...

Last Congress, myself and Congressman Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania, we founded the Blue Collar Caucus.
