I say to my colleague, I deeply agree that these fires are horrific in what they are doing to our natural resources and our habitat, but that is why this bill is so important. It is not Washington telling the States or the Native lands or…
I encourage my colleagues to support this en bloc package as well as the bill upon final passage, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1170, the previous question is ordered on the…

I thank my colleague and friend from Michigan for this amendment. This bipartisan amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan and cosponsored by the Republican gentleman from northern Michigan makes it clear--or western Michigan, not…
Before recognizing my colleague, I would like to talk about these costs and address the fact that dollars invested properly do save dollars. I note that the droughts in the American West cost $8.6 billion just last year, according to NOAA…
To close. I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for the constructive debate and input that we have had to date on Recovering America's Wildlife Act. This legislation is historic, and our shared efforts today will help move us…
I say to my colleague, we have worked in good faith. We will continue to work in good faith. The Senate, which doesn't work together as closely at times the way we do, has negotiated a legacy fund that is a bipartisan negotiated provision…
I am glad we found an area of agreement this afternoon. I think we have more agreement than people realize. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), the author of one of these very critical amendments.
This en bloc consists of four amendments: Amendment No. 3, offered by the gentlewoman from Texas; amendment No. 7, offered by the gentleman from Georgia; amendment No. 6, offered by the gentlewoman from Washington; and amendment No. 1…
This amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Arizona and the gentleman from North Carolina adds nonprofit organizations to the list of entities that are eligible to compete for innovation grants funded by the Wildlife Conservation and…
As a child, I lived with a man, my father, who should not have had access to a gun. When his temper flared, we would hide in the closet, my brothers and sisters, praying we would see the morning. My baby sister never recovered from those…
I want to build on that last point that you were making about what can be done to mitigate the worker displacement.
the No. 1 issue and the only issue that most of them wanted to talk about was training the workforce for the future.
it's critical we're getting the policies right so this transition is swift and supports a strong American-built workforce.
So I'm going to build on that. So I'm going to submit questions for the record because I had three more for you and we won't get it, but I don't think most people understand that most people buying EVs right now are for short distances.
Thank you, Chairman Stevens, for inviting me and holding today's important field hearing to examine the electric vehicle workforce needs that industry is facing.
The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act...provides 7.5 billion dollars to develop the electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
It needs to be the opposite: more work and better jobs, and something that can be led by our friends at labor.
The future of the auto industry is electric. We know this. Michigan has been leading the way on this front.
If the next century is to be another American century where we are leading, it is essential that we secure reliable and a sustainable supply of critical minerals and materials for EVs.
Domestic supply and production of critical minerals are fundamental to the automotive industry, the economic engine of my home state of Michigan.
I am a strong supporter of the supply chain resilience subtitle included in the America COMPETES Act.
I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on the issue of domestic production of critical minerals.
