I'm glad that the Fiscal Year 2024 budget includes an increase to unify the tsunami warning centers under a common analytic system.

Without a doubt, it's paramount for Congress to continue supporting NOAA's mission through a well-funded budget.

We need them both. We need them both.

Long COVID has been shown to be more frequent and more severe among people who are not vaccinated.

I missed votes today due to a family medical situation. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 202.

Speaker McCarthy's budget proposal includes a 22-percent cut across the board for domestic and social programs.

This hearing has been way too partisan under the guise of protecting children.

I missed votes today due to a family medical situation. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 190, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 191, and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 192. PERSONAL EXPLANATION

My home State of North Carolina is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events, hurricanes on our coasts...

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses. And I also want you to know that I will support all improvements in weather forecasting and modeling through innovations in data collection and data assimilation.

Ensuring that the National Weather Service has the data and tools to provide timely and accurate forecasts is integral to the safety and well-being of Americans.

Weather forecasts help inform decisions made by Americans every day and play an especially critical role in protecting lives and property during extreme weather events.

These innovators from independent singer/songwriters to investors in R&D share a common concern--Chinese infringement on the creative work into which they've poured their time, their money, and their dreams.

Unfortunately, uncertainty in our own IP system has not helped us maintain our edge.

The notion that people of different racial or ethnic groups are more successful or intellectually superior to another because of predisposed genetic makeup is grossly inconsistent with the consensus of scientific and medical scholarship.

Shouldn't we also hold stores, retailers, and the distributors of counterfeit goods in this country accountable?

We must put people over politics.

These views are dangerous and have no place in a hearing examining the origins of a pandemic.

My Democratic colleagues and I strongly support the experts' community's effort to determine the origins of the novel coronavirus.

I was alarmed to see someone who wrote a book applauded by white supremacists.

This disparity in patent eligibility threatens to drive innovation out of our country and into systems with broader criteria.

China has long relied on counterfeit goods to gain leverage over U.S. companies.
