This proposed amendment would expand the prohibition of using Federal dollars, Federal funds, to include any action--I want to repeat that, any action that would limit the ability of gas stoves based on the kind of fuel that it uses. So if…

I will say that there were a lot of things said that are really misinformation. No one is going to lose their gas stoves. This is not a plot to take that away. I certainly encourage everyone to vote against this so that we can protect our…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I say to Congressman Bilirakis and Congresswoman Cathy Rodgers that I consider them friends of mine, but I just don't quite understand the energy and hysteria about gas stoves. No one is…

I don't know how the gentlewoman got to children in mines from an amendment that says that any kind of addition to manufacturing a gas stove, including lead, which the gentlewoman did not respond to, would be a danger. I oppose this…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Colorado will be postponed. The Chair understands that amendment No. 2 will not be offered.

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Illinois is recognized for 5 minutes.

Some blockchains have large energy and environmental implications that we need to be concerned of.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses, the people who really know what they are talking about.

The biggest downfall, I think, is the use of this technology by scammers and fraudsters and extortionists.

We have the tools. That is the good news.

But today we are exploring some new territory.

Meet Celly, a constituent of mine living in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. He is an Army veteran and a cancer survivor, and he has received 100 percent disabled veterans benefits due to his trauma as he was serving for us in the…

Thanks to the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the CHIPS and Science bill, and the Inflation Reduction Act, it is estimated that that would create nearly half a million new jobs by 2030.

Meet Janet, a constituent of mine from the Uptown neighborhood in Chicago. She is 64 years old and is on Social Security disability. She suffers from chronic mental illness that prevents her from working. Even though she would prefer to…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall No. 227. ____________________

this is not about being woke. This is about being sensible and doing the right thing for our American people.

I am very concerned. I wanted to ask you about that.

I think all of our colleagues have to acknowledge that we are on the verge if we don't take urgent action, immediate action right now that we'll be unable to avoid some of the worst effects of climate change right now.

It would be a major setback, and I think that industry and many of our stakeholders fought aggressively to get those provisions into the IRA, and it would be a shame to see that taken out.

Illinois is number two in the country when it comes to lead service lines, and I really appreciate the fact that you have done--completed the review of the drinking water infrastructure needs survey.

You know, you mentioned that we have been working in the subcommittee and the full committee for at least 5 years, talking about how are we going to protect consumers' data.

Thank you so much, and I really appreciate the testimony that we are hearing.

I brought my Constitution with me because the Constitution is very clear that it is the duty of the United States of America to pay its debts. Somehow, it doesn't say a darn thing about how you can negotiate to hold the whole economy…

we passed a really good bill, and it is that that we ought to build on, that we ought to move forward on
