The GAO found that the U.S. Capitol Police's planning for January 6, 2021, did not reflect the potential for extreme violence aimed at the Capitol.

Democratic leadership has abdicated its security oversight responsibilities, choosing not to learn lessons from the 1998 attack.

Well, thank you, Madam Chairperson.

I would really love to work with you as we go to the next farm bill on creating some flexibility within the programs that your agency oversees.

I do think a timelier and more appropriate title for this hearing would be the energy crisis every family in America is experiencing because of the Biden Administration's misguided inflationary energy policies.

The fraudulent use of the term organic misleads consumers and hurts the USDA organic label and brand.

These are the issues that affect our farmers and our producers most right now, and they are not being taken very seriously in my opinion by President Biden.

I would love to continue to work with you and the agency on ensuring that our states do the right thing and use the program to their benefit.

we believe the Renewable Fuel Standard is the best near-term opportunity we have for reducing carbon emissions from the transportation sector.

I am glad that other committees are also discussing the Biden Administration's Build Back Broke scheme to further bankrupt American families.

The proposal evolved from bipartisan, bicameral legislation cosponsored by Reps. Rodney Davis (R-IL) and Dusty Johnson (R-SD).

we agree that a strong RFS that is consistent with the statutory intent of the program is fundamental to decarbonizing transportation.

With inflation over seven percent and President Biden's anti-work policies, the average family in my district would struggle to afford a new car, let alone a more costly electric vehicle.

It kind of makes you wonder why the Biden Administration is making such a push for EVs when they would rather have every American locked inside their house.

Thank you to our witnesses for joining us today at our first hearing on the Smithsonian Institution this Congress.

if these flood levels are going to happen in the next six to eight years or whatever time period these so-called experts want us to address, then this Committee needs to start talking about the mosquito abatement issues that we are going…

The Smithsonian's Climate Change Action Plan agrees with The New York Times that the National Mall is at risk of becoming a floodplain in the coming years.

I mean, look, I get following the rules. But at some point, we have got to make sure we don't have a system of masked vigilantes who stop people from utilizing a service we are trying to encourage more ridership on.

We should politely ask them to comply, and have a good dialogue.

I really hope our transportation agencies engage more with the private sector.

Well, certainly, given our motor carriers, the choice of their own equipment would help.

I hope that this is not an indication of the Administration's unwillingness to stand with America's farmers.

If your Administration makes the unprecedented move to reopen the finalized 2020 RVO, and strip the demand for billions of gallons, the industry will certainly be devastated.

It is now more important than ever to uphold the law and ensure our domestic biofuels producers have certainty through fulfilling the statutory obligation of 15 billion gallons of conventional ethanol, annually.

This Administration, though, is headed down a dangerous path as it continues to pass up opportunities to uphold the Renewable Fuel Standard.
