Not one Republican in Congress voted for the American Rescue Plan.

the former administration's incompetence in dealing with this area as well resulted in a backlog, resulted in women not having jobs outside of their homes.

I think that is unfair and that I think is unnecessary.

He cut off lawful means of immigration, dismantled our immigration infrastructure, and refused to address the underlying causes of migration.

Rest assured this committee will continue to conduct careful oversight of the Department's actions at the border.

If we think nuclear energy is part of our clean energy portfolio, why are we not doing more research on what to do with its waste?

So even when these towns are not, you know, very high-end homes, you know, rather low-end communities, so the cost to actually doing something in those communities that would save those communities or even providing alternatives to those…

Yes. Are there barriers to that infrastructure being constructed, other than the lack of funding?

Why are we not discussing fusion energy as one of the innovations that we should be investing in?

I appreciate this hearing that we are having on innovation and the impact on underrepresented and poorer communities.

I am really interested in that whole issue of extracting energy from wastewater and just repurposing any kind of waste that we have.

I would like to close those kind of barriers that Ms. Becker is talking about, but I also would like to know what we need to be thinking about when we talk to the Army Corps of Engineers about how it needs to envision its moving forward…

I would love to make sure that my capital city becomes a positive target for reinventing itself in this new clean energy field.

It is my understanding that the Biden administration is trying to track down this so-called 20 million doses of vaccine that were released by the Trump administration, however, no one knows where it is or who received it.

Yes, I think the sequenced rollout of vaccine is reasonable.

I think that improved leadership and better communication would definitely have saved lives and I think people have died unnecessarily in this pandemic, certainly.

I think that there is an honesty, lack of transparency, incompetence issue that was at play in this former administration.

I think the development of the vaccines is absolutely an unprecedented success, yes.

I completely agree with my colleague. I also think that we need to give consistent guidance to school districts across the country that is coming from the Federal level.

I think this is a large factor in shaping how the pandemic evolved in this country.

Yes, I think it is all about clear and consistent communication.

I don't think the supply that we have right at this moment meets the demand for vaccine.

It is time to stop spending money on walls that divide us and more money on firewalls that protect us.

Can a trickster encourage you to do something that will have a negative impact on your device, and you are thinking that is the company telling you to update it?

So do we still have an issue with agencies feeling very proprietary over information in their jurisdiction and not sharing it in an interagency capacity?
