I thank the chairman for yielding and recognizing me. Madam Chair, I rise in strong opposition to the Republicans' energy bill. I have deep concerns about this package overall in terms of its attack on our bedrock environmental laws. As a…
This is an important function that our committee plays. We take it seriously.
Thank you very much. And I appreciate you talking about the data, the importance of collecting information on where the shortages are.
A strong, well-trained workforce is critical to ensuring a high-quality healthcare delivery system.

Unfortunately, again, our colleagues here seem unwilling to commit to a more sustainable future.
They are really unleashing more profit-making by the big oil companies, and doing that at the expense of the American people.
I want to thank your agencies for their work to combat the mental health and behavioral health crises that we see.
Governor Moore... has deemed addressing health issues as a core priority of his administration.
