Sub-Saharan does not mean subhuman, and we should not treat anyone as such.

I am deeply concerned about the items particularly produced by slave labor in our supply chain.

I believe that Africa has many, many opportunities not just for the people on the continent but for the world and particularly America.

I implore you, sir, to make sure that the Biden Administration ensures that the rights and freedoms of Iraqi minorities are protected.

Before I start, I want to thank the Administration for extending humanitarian parole for Ukrainians.

You've said many times that there is a feeling that's palpable amongst the American people that we have betrayed our allies and we have betrayed those who stood up with us during our time of need.

Our service continues today. You answered the call initially because of something deep down in your soul that taught you, that told you that you had an obligation, not an option, to continue your service and give back.

I oppose this amendment because it creates an unnecessary loophole for a subsidiary of a sanctioned company.

I am very appreciative of all the work that you have done in the past and are doing now to help farm families like mine carry on the important work we do for the country and for people around the world.

From a rice perspective, if we were to lose so much acreage that the infrastructure could not be maintained, we would lose the U.S. rice industry--and once lost it would not come back.

Planting flexibility is extremely important to farmers, both economically and agronomically.

The antidote to avoiding consolidation in agriculture and thus keeping farmers and ranchers independent and family owned is to ensure that the safety net works for regular full time farm families.

Farm policy rules can no more hold back market realities than auto or home mortgage lenders can expect to lend at loan levels set decades ago.

I believe that Chairperson Newland is more likely to provide wise and meaningful leadership.

The role of the Yurok Tribal government is to protect our people and our resources, which means we must be prepared to respond to all these crises.

For us, climate change is no longer discussed as something that will happen in the future. It is impacting us now.

The Yurok Tribe is grateful for this opportunity to provide testimony about ways that we can partner with the Federal government to prepare for an adaptive climate change and be part of the solution.

We want to make sure those fish will be up there to get up there since time immemorial.

We are looking to partner. It makes sense all the way around.

I just really urge you to look at increasing the PRC. It would help every area, not just the Portland area.
