A supply chain, as they say, is only as strong as its weakest link, and the times when the weakest link happens to be cybersecurity, we see devastating ripple effects and wide-ranging aftershocks.

I am deeply proud to be here today to encourage Congress to explore various avenues that government can engage the open-source community to identify and remedy vulnerabilities.

We know as a result of an ongoing pandemic, an unbelievable and catastrophic war started by Russia in Ukraine prices are rising.

And do you think businesses of any size that play by the rules would have anything to worry about with the increased penalties in the Wage Theft Act?

So, you consider yourself a small business?

If you're not on board with this, you're part of the problem.

I'm proud to be an original co-sponsor the Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act, a responsible solution to deter wage theft and help workers seek justice.

I really want to salute Mr. Esparza for being here and for your testimony and for your effort.

I'm surprised that all of five minutes of questioning wouldn't be used by any Member of Congress the egregious topic at hand known as wage theft.

I'm hoping today to hear ideas for how we can better prepare first-time entrepreneurs, how we can bring in and support more woman- and minority-owned small businesses, and for how agencies can be more responsive to the needs of small…

I was very proud to cosponsor a bipartisan bill last June with Congressman Baird to further strengthen the SBIR and STTR programs.

I'm hoping to hear ideas today about how we can better prepare first-time entrepreneurs, how we can bring in and support more women- and minority-owned small businesses.

As the gentleman from Arkansas reminds us, I am proud that Michigan is the destination where the combustion engine was invented and innovated, and very proud to be the destination where our workers are manifesting and innovating electric…

May I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Luria). The gentlewoman from Michigan has 13\3/4\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Oklahoma has 15 minutes remaining.

We are lucky to have such a chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs here in the Congress. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I thank the gentleman from Oregon for reminding us about the importance of legacy chips and the MTB. I also thank the previous gentlewoman from California for reminding us about Manufacturing USA, which was probably started under the Obama…

The ranking member, the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Lucas), has given us a motion to instruct, a negotiation that we will pursue in the conference to come. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone).

Climate change is a threat to these agencies and the entire Federal Government that cannot be ignored.

Protecting the capabilities of Federal agencies like NOAA, DOE, and NASA is a shared goal for all of us.

We need to act, we need to take this seriously. And yes, it’s a moment of reckoning what’s going on with the Republican Party in this country right now.

It’s been crickets. And it’s been a call to vigilante justice, which is unacceptable.

This is running rampant in a major political party. So we have a gubernatorial candidate, we have a state senate candidate, and we have a former president who refuses to admit he lost an election, and incited a riot on the Capitol injuring…

What lessons have we learned coming out of January 6?
