This National Police Week, we pause to recognize the brave men and women in blue who are committed to keeping our communities safe, and we remember those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Our Nation is blessed to have the bravest…

I am also interested in hearing more about what producers do not want in the next farm bill, as time has taught us, even if well intended, more legislation and regulation is often not the answer.

I am especially concerned with the Biden Administration's false narrative about the protein sector's contribution to the skyrocketing cost of food in America.

I have always maintained the idea that the demand for U.S. commodities and products are really because our farmers and ranchers are able to produce such quality products.

It is very hard to replicate the number of people in China, and we need to consume all the products we grow every year.

I want to make sure that our chips program is ahead of China or any other adversary we might have.

This provision gives universities the tools they need to protect sensitive research from cyber theft.

I think agriculture and ranchers and agribusiness do need that, so I am glad to hear your comments and your perspective in that regard.

I really appreciate the focus on biotechnology. I want to say that again because I really feel that it is going to be important as we move to try to find plants and animals that can adapt to environmental change.

What is really important is that there is a regulatory framework, that it supports innovation and safety, and that it provides certainty for developers.

I always appreciate the expert witnesses that we have for these Committee meetings and the value that you add for sharing with us what you think is important.

I really appreciate this hearing, and I appreciate the witness being here.
