I have no further requests for time, and I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I urge my colleagues to strongly support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

The facts are that we have heard nearly 80 hours of voluntary testimony from 11 current or former HHS officials.

Thanks to lowered premiums under the American Rescue Plan and renewed under the Inflation Reduction Act, more families than ever before will be able to access the care that they need, when they need it.

I am disappointed that we are even having this hearing today because I keep repeatedly hearing, over the course of this hearing how responsive the Administration has been to the Select Committee, rather they are not.

Unfortunately, we know that there are some who are all too eager to repeal these health care plans without a plan to keep costs low and coverage high for millions of people.

We are going to get another pandemic, and we need to be ready for it.

I will let the poor witnesses that have been here, but I wanted to call and tell them I will read everything that they said, and show my support for you, Mr. Chairman.

Border has been broken. It was broken under Donald Trump as well.

We've got to show some empathy and compassion. A Jewish baby and a Palestinian baby are babies. I don't want to see any baby die. So, first of all, we've got to take that on. We've got to get a cease-fire. This has to stop.

We have needed comprehensive immigration reform in this country for decades.

Nobody is above the law. There have been constant investigations since Joe Biden was president and vice president.

No, I don't because they've still got to get facts. So in order to have the House pass impeachment, you've got to have facts.

I have talked to those dealers. The dealers aren't opposed to EV vehicles. There is a rulemaking, and the rulemaking needs to take their input into consideration. I am a car girl. I was born one, raised one, worked in it, and my district…

I rise with a great deal of respect for my colleague but in opposition to this amendment, which seeks to cut funding from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program. Here is the reality. The world is moving to alternative…

the Act is designed, and typically implemented, in a manner that carefully takes account of its potential effects on commercial activity.

How does the ESA manage to protect these and other species without causing a shutdown or collapse of commercial activity along the Gulf coast?

a conclusion by NMFS that the proposed action is likely to jeopardize a listed species or result in adverse modification of its critical habitat does not automatically prevent that action from proceeding.

I really do want to work with my Republican colleagues because I think this is something we really can agree on.

I am proud to join Representative Joyce in introducing the Wildlife Innovation and Longevity Driver Reauthorization Act, or WILD Act.

Attempts to reauthorize critical legislation, such as the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act, currently is falling short of applying the lessons we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is a fact that bears repeating, we will not be prepared to face the next pandemic if we don't start doing the work now to fortify our biodefense with meaningful biosafety and biosecurity reforms.

I would like to thank Congressman Dave Joyce and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell for introducing the WILD Act.

Protecting wildlife has always been a top priority. Many of you know that I am very concerned about America's shrinking wildlife populations.
