"Thank you, Madam Chair, and I want to thank you once again, 2 weeks in a row, for holding a really good, topical hearing."

"It's great to hear that programs like this are protecting vulnerable populations--the ones who can least afford to be displaced from their home or job after a disaster."

"Your testimony highlighted the role that buildings play in global emissions--40 percent."

"It will result in greater greenhouse gas emissions for the globe."
