Indian country housing is just significantly more of a challenge, and, quite frankly, it should not be.

These family dairies, they are just having a hard time surviving, and it is damned hard work.

Well, I would just say this, and like I said, I think precision Ag is where it is at.

But I would like to have you keep it in the front of your head the affordability angle.

I am encouraged by this position, which is a significant change from past Statements, and look forward to seeing this proposed model.

Taking care of our veterans is the cost of war.

We need to put those bills together, and we will, in a comprehensive package that I hope to mark up in this Committee before Memorial Day.

Partnerships and coalitions are very, very important.

TAPS thanks Ranking Member Moran and Chairman Tester for introducing the Colonel John M. McHugh Tuition Fairness for Survivors Act of 2021.

We must provide health care and benefits to all veterans suffering from the effects of toxic exposure, past, present and future.

Vietnam veterans have been talked about a long time. We just never have provided what they have needed.

I commit to working with each of you on your priorities as we move forward.

If you and the Chairman, or the Chairman and you would like to send off a letter to Becerra, I would be more than happy to sign it.

The number one barrier to vaccination and getting more community members vaccinated is capacity.

This includes clean technologies like carbon capture and utilization, renewable fuels and coal-to-products.

While it is important to promote federal investment in research and development, we also need to ensure companies have the tools in place to create and build those jobs.

Housing is a huge issue in this country.

Affordability is huge.

We just got to make sure this is affordable in the end.

I can tell you what is needed is the Keystone XL Pipeline.

If we do not have good old-fashioned capitalism in our marketplaces, then we are in trouble.

This is a hell of a lot bigger issue than energy. This is about rural America that has been drying up for decades.

The Biden administration is saying they canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline to protect the environment despite the fact we know the Keystone XL Pipeline would reduce transportation emissions.

I think this is really critical to restore what it means to live in an equitable society, to restore liberty, to restore democracy, and to really restore the power of communities to direct their own future.

I am more than a little bit displeased at the politicization of this hearing.
