I thank the gentleman from Hawaii for yielding and for his work on this bill. Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amendment to ensure that Great Lakes States have access to the resources in this bill, so they can address climate change…
Today, the House passed a bipartisan bill that Mr. Moolenaar joined me in introducing, H.R. 2051, the Sustainable Chemistry Research and Development Act. Chemical products are part of our everyday lives, from toothpaste, to shampoo…
Robocalls, just mentioning them is enough to make anyone's blood boil. Robocalls interrupt our time with family and friends, scam people out of their hard-earned money while spoofing numbers to make calls look local, and even clog up the…
I expect this title to not only include Amtrak reauthorization and other passenger rail provisions, but also a robust investment in freight rail infrastructure.
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing us today, and there is an urgent need for bipartisan solutions.
Finally, we need to permanently authorize the 45G tax credit to give the short line rail industry the investment certainty they need.
One thing I hope we can all agree upon, though, is that we need a robust level of funding for megaprojects which are critical to freight movement in our country and other projects critical to transportation in the country that, really…
This investment would have far-reaching, positive impacts by increasing jobs--many of them good-paying union jobs, making our businesses more competitive, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Amtrak is an essential component of our national transportation system and must be supported, not dismantled, privatized or starved into bankruptcy.
Amtrak's long distance services are a critical economic lifeline to many small towns throughout our nation.
This is a critical time to be looking at the issues as we begin drafting this legislation.
It is insulting for Amtrak to be cutting jobs they say are not needed and then outsourcing the same jobs to low-wage, no-benefit contractors.
Something went wrong in the certification process of this plane. Either the FAA certification process itself is at fault, Boeing is at fault in their role in the process, or both.
I am not sure what accountability means if accountability means, Mr. Muilenburg, you received a $15 million bonus after these planes crashed.
346 people died in 2 crashes of Boeing 737 MAX planes that should not have been certified to fly by the FAA.
There is a lot of reasons mistakes are made. The problem, the bigger problem, is if mistakes were made for financial reasons.
I think it is critically important, especially as we are looking at what are we going to do to get cars off the road.
I firmly expect the EPA to do its job engaging with the public at this event.
