I support... more funding for ARPA-E. It was envisioned to be funded at $1 billion annually.

This may be the most important thing we do on climate change this year if we put more funding into ARPA-E.

I actually introduced the first bipartisan carbon fee bill that was introduced where all the money would go back to the public.

We need everyone that we can get on board to work on the solutions to the big problems that we face.

But I think what keeps me up at night is thinking about my own daughter and the world that she's going to face if we do nothing.

We need to know if the technology is safe.

I thank the chairwoman for accepting this amendment. I thank her very much for her work on this bill. Mr. Chairman, I also thank the ranking member for his work on this. I appreciate it. This is a great opportunity with this amendment to…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 8, line 15, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $30,000,000)''. Page 32, line 23, after the…

I believe it is definitely the former, and I strongly fear that it could also be the latter.

We're only six days away from Memorial Day, and it's the busiest day of the year for me for public events in my district because of the importance my constituents and I place on honoring the men and women who serve in our armed forces.

I agree that the government has an important role to play in helping U.S. businesses lead the world in technology to address climate change.

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 Illinois will be postponed. Amendment No. 79 Offered by Mr. Denham The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I thank Ranking Member Larsen for his comments. I thank Chairman Shuster for his work on this bill. There are many good provisions in this bill, one that has to do with disclosure. But it still does not give the flying public enough…

We must take advantage of all the tools at our disposal.

The other part that I wanted to ask about is the--what can we do as policymakers here in Washington to make sure that the United States maintains a strong position in producing in these materials?

We must find a way to ensure the safety of our nation's expanding population as demands on our roads, bridges, utilities, and other essential infrastructure increase.

Much of the nation's major infrastructure is nearing or has passed the end of its design lifespan.

These are long-term challenges that require long-term solutions.

We need to examine our approach to rebuilding infrastructure as climate change and other factors drive increases in the intensity of wildfires, hurricanes, and other extreme events.

The status quo is clearly not acceptable.

I appreciate Mr. Golden's comments about the value of having foreign nationals come to study here in the United States.

I am very hopeful that we could move forward with a bipartisan plan here in this committee.

I think that there is a cultural problem in general with those who are higher up sometimes being abusive.

We cannot afford to lose another brilliant scientist because she did not feel safe in her lab, but even more important, no one should stand by idly while we have an opportunity to prevent harassment in any context.

It is critical for this Committee and this Congress to find new and better ways to address sexual harassment and misconduct in the sciences.
