Debbie Dingell

I would ask this Committee to request from GAO a study on the crime rates on Reservations in Montana and Wyoming.

It seems like to us there is a turf battle related to who is going to bust who, and no one cares about the ultimate victims of these crimes.

We must stop these transactions before these people become much larger dealers.

I personally appreciate the importance of patients knowing that meaningful compensation is available if they experience a severe adverse event and need it.

Right now, we are at a pivotal moment for vaccine confidence in the United States.

A number of these reforms or more are included in two bipartisan pieces of legislation led by Congressman Lloyd Doggett, H.R. 5142 and 5143.

Congress has an important role to play in strengthening these programs and streamlining the process of compensating patients with vaccine-related injuries.

We have got to focus on what we can and should do to strengthen our vaccine safety systems, which are crucial tools for promoting vaccine confidence.

85 percent of the Great Lakes remain unexplored.

The Great Lakes Basin is the largest freshwater ecosystem in the world.

This has really, really been an important bipartisan effort.

H.R. 7020, the Great Lakes Mapping Act is included as part of today's hearing.

So, this bill would support a drinkable, swimmable, fishable Great Lakes.

Economically, the Great Lakes provide trade, transportation, and one-of-a-kind recreational activities.

It is especially troubling to learn how these clawbacks impact tribes, since it is my understanding how many feel that they have been left out of this process.

I cannot support the America's Wildlife Habitat Conservation Act because, simply put, it doesn't meet the recommendations laid out by the blue ribbon panel.

RAWA would allocate nearly $1.4 billion annually, and permanent mandatory funding for state and tribal fish and wildlife management agencies.

I must disagree today that the America's Wildlife Habitat Conservation Act is the best approach.

Birds are experiencing ongoing threats from habitat loss and degradation, climate change, and many other challenges.

It passed with bipartisan support in the 117th Congress.

We are in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, which is having a profound effect on people and their communities.

Emerging from the Panel's recommendations was the Recovering America's Wildlife Act, legislation sponsored by Congresswoman Dingell with significant bipartisan support.

I would be remiss today if I did not also thank Representative Debbie Dingell for her support for state fish and wildlife agencies.

It's time to get the job done together in the Congress.

The president needs to – needs to be looking at executive orders. But he needs more money.
