I would consider the perpetual flooding affecting the Yazoo Backwater Area to be a tremendous environmental injustice.

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.

Senator Kennedy could not have said it better because I am from Mississippi, the Mississippi Rivers.

I'm deeply concerned by President Biden's decision to eliminate protect life and global health assistance.

U.S. support of Israel and its right to defend itself is of vital importance.

I think that we have to answer to a lot of Americans who lost their jobs because of this.

I, along with many members of the committee remain concerned with the lack of targeted therapies for rare cancer patients.

I wrote to you last November to express my concerns that projects recently funded by NIH disregard the spirit, long-established policies against creation of a Federal firearms registry.

I think lab accidents happen and we need to investigate the possibility.

Thank you for holding the hearing, and thanks to all the witnesses who are participating today.

I was a strong supporter of this provision, and I am really pleased that the timber industry is now actually eligible for this relief.

I am also glad to hear that the service is focused on providing jobs, additional outdoor recreation opportunities, and stability for rural and local economies.

I'm just very concerned with the Coast Guard and their funds being drawn away from that and it's very concerning to me because they do play such a vital role.

I agree with you on the smaller cities. Obviously a state like mine has all small cities and towns...

Mr. Secretary, what commitments will you give us that any funding allocated to your department for border security and immigration enforcement will be used on proven and logical solutions to resecure our borders and discourage this…

I support the use of that for right now, but we know there are test cases in the courts and others.

Your first 100 days have been dominated by a border crisis of the Administration's own making.

Drugs continue to pour across our border, including record amounts of fentanyl.

The Administration continues to insist that the border is secure.

The Department of Homeland Security stands alone as the only department held virtually flat from last year.

We are currently in the midst of a historic surge at the southern border.

I believe that science is best when it's ethical and respects the dignity of life.

The possibility of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the Southern border and being transported to our State...

I, along with many members of the committee remain concerned with the lack of targeted therapies for rare cancer patients.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.
