Over 70 percent of our planet is covered by water, and more than 96 percent of that water is in our oceans.

Thank you for holding this hearing, Chairwoman Fletcher. I want to thank our witnesses for appearing before the Subcommittee and sharing their perspectives.

June is National Ocean Month, and it's fitting we hold this hearing recognizing the importance of researching this part of our planet, which has gone largely unexplored.

I personally fought in the OB delivery room for 30 years for the unborn and newly born. I ask the Speaker to immediately schedule this important bill so we can protect these babies. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized…

I am often asked about what I value in life, and I speak of the four pillars of my life: faith, family, community, and education. Today I honor faith. It is a thrill and honor of my life to have my pastor here today to help us open this…

It is always good to see you.

we are so proud of NBAF and what is going on there, that we are on time and maybe even under budget.

The lengths that my colleagues across the aisle are willing to go to mislead the public and increase the political divide over healthcare is shameful and embarrassing. H.R. 986, which I refuse to call by its name, makes a mockery of…

I thank my colleague for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the Trump administration's rule that will modernize Medicare part D and, as a result, lower drug prices, reduce out-of-pocket expenses for America's seniors, and…

Recently we celebrated our national libraries. I rise today to discuss the important role they play across many Kansas communities. I have visited libraries throughout The Big First, stopping in Manhattan, Salina, Dodge City, Quinter…

But I am afraid our infrastructure has been left somewhat neglected over the past decade or so, and America is suffering.

As cochair of the Congressional Beef Caucus, I ask you to consider including a 150 air-mile exemption for livestock hauling operations.

I ask for robust support for the programs mentioned.

Infrastructure is something this whole country can rally behind, giving us a common goal and purpose.

Long-term funding for surface transportation infrastructure allows communities to better plan and invest in their communities.

Water infrastructure is also of vital importance to our district, whether through availability of quality water sources or upgrading the aging water towers.

Agriculture remains front of mind for all of us, from the top of the agency all the way down to the bottom.

It is another way to connect rural America to the rest of the world.

I represent the big First Congressional District of Kansas, which I continue to argue is the largest agriculture-producing district in the country.

I do think this increase is warranted, as NESDIS provides critical data and services, but we must ensure the office is equipped to handle this booming growth and use all resources in the most efficient way.

It is important that we, as Members of Congress, remember it's the responsibility of Congress to vet budget requests.

unfettered trade is what this business needs to succeed.

The fastest-growing dairy herd in the country is in Kansas, so we are very proud of our dairies.

Enough. Enough. I finished my 16th, 17th, and 18th townhall this weekend, and everywhere I went across Kansas, my people told me, ``Enough of this.'' We have had enough of the Mueller investigation. We have had enough on the tax return…

I want to applaud Secretary Perdue and USDA in taking this regulatory action to make work an even more central component of this important program.
