The science on climate change is beyond rational dispute: It is a reality--a clear and present threat to our planet--and it must be addressed robustly and urgently.

Jeanne Shaheen is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from New Hampshire, a position she has held since January 3, 2009. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the first woman to be elected governor of New Hampshire, serving from 1997 to 2003.

Last year, we rejected the proposal to terminate NASA education, and we will do it again this year.
And thank you to you and Senator Murray and Senator Alexander for your commitment to research and funding for NIH.
I came back because I did not want to go home and tell my family that I had this whole panel from NIH in front of me and I did not ask you about the prospects of research into a cure for type 1 diabetes.
Absolutely. That is what we are seeing in New Hampshire where we have the highest rate of overdose deaths from fentanyl.
Well, thank you. Thank you all very much for the great work that you are doing.
Like my colleagues on this committee, we have been very hard hit in New Hampshire, as you know, from your visit to Catholic Medical Center and other places in the State.
I think we need to think about how we can reverse the incentives in our healthcare system to do more for prevention with type 2 where it really makes a difference.
I would encourage you and Senator Capito to set up a classified briefing where we can get that kind of information.
I hope your investigation will examine that matter and make sure if the appropriate people were not present, that it will reflect that, so that we have that information in the future.
I think the question is not just if Larry Nassar will be held accountable, but also any other participants in USA Gymnastics or the U.S. Olympic Committee who knew what was going on.
