The halt in our assistance during the previous administration not only set us back from addressing the root causes of migration, it caused critical time and credibility needed to make progress on human rights, economic opportunity…

I appreciate the President's commitment to restarting our assistance to the Palestinians, to advancing prosperity, security, and freedom for both Israelis and Palestinians in tangible ways.

We need to turn the page from the previous administration's outdated and counterproductive policies and return to engagement and dialogue to resolve our differences and to press the chain.

The last 4 years have been extremely difficult ones for the Palestinian people.

The short answer is not enough, not enough.

I wanted to thank Congresswoman Joyce, someone I have such great respect for, the work that we do together on the Great Lakes.

I would just obviously appreciate your partnership; ... whether a roadmap can be provided to these communities that desperately need the Federal Government to step up to its obligations in a way that it hasn't so far.

We can protect the environment, we can improve public health with clean drinking water, and we can put a lot of people to work with the investments in our water infrastructure.

The Great Lakes got shortchanged in the past by the Department of the Interior, and we can do so much better.

We should have named them the Great Seas, because if you emptied out Lake Superior, it would cover both North and South America 1 foot high.

I know with Congressman Joyce in position as the ranking member, working together, we can figure this out.

I think I represent the second-smallest national park, at Perry's Victory Memorial.

I am worried that the CCC... will focus and bring volunteers from rural areas.

I would just tell you, the difficulty in getting the Park Service to work with the Federal wildlife refuges... is really hard.

Why can't we commemorate that?

I had to fight like the dickens to try to get Native Americans included in the program.

It would sure be nice, since it is against the current law to do so, if this administration did not do what the last administration did.

I hope we can work on these together. I invite you to come visit and see how these programs are making a difference.

I am concerned by what I am hearing from outside interests about locking up Federal lands from sustainable, responsible use.

Top-down policies that force hardship on Americans never works when the costs outweigh the benefits in their everyday lives.

I count myself among Leader McCarthy and many other House Republicans who recognize that human activity is contributing to the changing climate.

Lately, the Federal Government has been spending money it does not have at such a rapid clip that I fear the term "finite funding" may lose its meaning.

What Chester Makes, Makes Chester, but I would like to apply that to every community I represent.

EDA is a critical lifeline for many of my constituents in my district, a very rural district.

One of the problems that we have is that Governors around the country are not opening up fast enough.
