I really feel like you have a captive audience. You, obviously, have the young people there, and if you can deliver services right there on site and do it in a consistent way and a comprehensive way, it can make a dramatic difference.

I certainly want to thank my colleagues who have introduced H.R. 2328 and H.R. 1943 for maintaining our strong commitment to Community Health Centers which support the needs of children.

In evaluating benchmark datasets from organizations like NIST, I found some surprising imbalances. One prominent NIST dataset was 75 percent male and 80 percent lighter skinned, what I like to call a 'pale male' dataset.

So you understand the concern. There are at least two levels of analysis that are of concern here today.

You can send a signal right now, Chairman Kiko, to the employees of FLRA that you value their opinions so much that you will share them with the Oversight Committee.

I'm concerned about the reports of your tenure that we are taking from these surveys.

I don't see why the deliberative process you're alluding to can't happen simultaneously with your providing the information that we're asking for.

Be a present American. Be engaged, be active, and stand up

Those kinds of Federal investments in our grid infrastructure are essential if we are going to overcome the challenges

It is about time, and our committee, I think, is very well positioned to contribute to the broad discussion we are having across the Congress about making this a priority.

Last Congress, I was very proud to be a cosponsor of the LIFT America Act, and I am certainly pleased again to do it in this Congress.

When we passed the For the People Act in the House, House Democrats essentially introduced a comprehensive set of election security reforms that would protect the ballot box.

In fact, FBI Director Wray made the claim that he believes Russia treated the 2018 election as 'a dress rehearsal for the big show in 2020.'

Much has been made of the Special Counsel's inability to value the opposition research that was solicited by campaign officials.

In fact, Mick Mulvaney was reported to have said that election security 'wasn't a great subject and should be kept below his'--meaning the President's--'level.'

I have run out of time. I am sorry, but we can continue the conversation offline.

This is about American patriots, not Republicans or Democrats, fighting back against these attacks on our democracy.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell won't allow a vote on election security legislation 'no matter the policy and no matter the approach.'

When the health of the American people is at stake, we ought to pay attention to science.

I don't see that happening here with the Trump administration's proposal.

So you're taking a very broad perspective, which I think is the prudent one to do.

I am for transparency with teeth, just for the record.

I think if you look at the impact on the public of drug prices, it is hard to argue that it isn't as extensive and permeating as those other things are.

It just sounds like you're proceeding on a wing and a prayer here, and that just makes me really, really nervous.

I don't think it's a good idea to move these OPM functions into those three agencies as has been proposed.
