I keep raising the critical importance of improving this funding

the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the significant vulnerabilities in our domestic supply chain

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Well, Michigan is reflective of the country. We -- it was a state that Donald Trump won five years ago now, four years ago, which I predicted and everybody thought I was crazy. But it was a state that he won in 2020. We have people that…

Those voters that voted for Donald Trump five years ago didn`t think Washington cared about them. Didn`t care about their jobs. He talked about how 75 percent of the batteries right now for electric vehicles are being built in China. And…

We all know what the Build Back Better vision is and we need it. And by the way, the American people were on it. They want our roads and bridges fixed. They`re worried about child care.

Failure isn`t an option. We`ve got to get this done.

I am really pleased to see the bipartisan attention on this issue and that the committee is taking the time to dig into the topic.

Long-term educational attainment is inextricably linked to our conversation about a student and athlete's ability to monetize their name, image, or likeness.

Thank you, Chairwoman Schakowsky, and thank you for holding this hearing, and to all of you that are testifying today.

Many of you have suggested that student athletes are students first and foremost.

This ain`t the time to create drama in people`s lives. We`re in the middle of a pandemic.

We need both bills. I want to be very clear on that.

I think it`s very important. I think it`s important that the President engage with House members.

Failure is not an option. We have got to get this figured out.

I think 3.5 is where we`re looking right now. You know that bill is also my bill, it is the Dingell bill in the House, and it`s not enough money.

So I don’t think it’s going to be pretty for the next two weeks. I think there’s going to be a lot of discussions, a lot of negotiations, a lot of back and forth, a lot of intensity, a lot of passion. But we can’t fail.

I thank the distinguished subcommittee chair for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the en bloc, which includes my important amendment highlighting the United States' continued enabling of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition's…

The Clean Energy & Sustainability Accelerator Act (Accelerator) is a bipartisan bill that would create an independent nonprofit Accelerator to function as a national green bank.

If this bill becomes law, could the Commission be able to bring those types of cases in the future? I think it would make it significantly more difficult.

I have heard concerns that the 5-year requirement in this bill would effectively limit consent decrees to 5 years.

In my view, a number of bills we are discussing today could have detrimental effects on the FTC's ability to carry out its essential consumer protection mission.

Instead of the company proving that a consent decree is no longer necessary, the burden would be on the FTC to prove that it is still necessary.

But, in contrast, under the SHIELD Act, companies can use adherence to agency guidance to prove that they did not commit an unfair or deceptive act or practice.

I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Dingell) that the House suspend the rules and…
