If we don't take care of our environment the benefits of outdoor recreation to the economy and to the American people will vanish.

Supporting outdoor recreation means taking meaningful action to protect the environment.

Thank you for holding today's hearing on draft legislation to amend the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA).

Earth Day 2017 provides an important opportunity to raise awareness of the consequences of President Trump's executive action abandoning meaningful progress on climate. Left unchecked, climate change will continue to harm the health and…

The fact of the matter is that this President ran on a platform saying he was going to help the little guy and he was going to, you know, work against the corporate interests and Wall Street, and he does just the opposite.

Everyone understands when you go home that the Republicans are trying to do harm to every health, safety, privacy, environmental protection that exists in the Federal Government.

Today I put forward a discussion draft, a bill called the Connected Government Act, which acknowledges the need to bring Government services to people where they are.

No one believes this Republican mumbo jumbo about the FCC, about clean air, about the Affordable Care Act.

Reports of cyber breaches such as the Anthem case highlight the need for all industry members to come together and find solutions.

Faced with these realities we must find ways to bolster our defenses.

I look forward to hearing the witnesses' perspectives on what challenges and vulnerabilities we face, and what is being done, and how we can improve.

This committee has a long history of examining cybersecurity and, while we have made progress, it is clear that we still have a lot of work to do.

I want to remind the committee that I along with my fellow committee member Susan Brooks, sitting right over there, sent a letter to the FDA last year asking about cyber vulnerabilities in medical devices.

I am particularly concerned about these vulnerabilities faced by the healthcare sector as more and more Americans suffer the loss of personally identifiable information and private medical records.

Nearly every day now, we hear about new ways our enemies are trying to steal Americans' information. Just a couple weeks ago, two Russian hackers were indicted for stealing personal information from millions of us. American consumers visit…

I think that's deceptive and dangerous.

Ignoring Next Generation 911 is 'Not an option' and I agree.

The rationale behind putting a price on those emissions is to internalize them and give firms an incentive to take them into account.

These costs are not reflected in the price of energy generated from fossil fuels.

The fossil fuel industry likes to overlook the greatest market distortion that exists and that is the public health, environmental costs of pollution.

The Federal Government should be incentivizing technologies that are cleaner, safer, and more protective of the health of all Americans.

The choices we make in providing tax benefits to one type of generation versus another have real world impacts on the energy sector.

If we are to move down this path of examining tax subsidies we must also consider all subsidies, direct, indirect, and regulatory.

Tax subsidies are among the policy drivers least understood by the general public.

The Federal Government should be incentivizing technologies that are cleaner, safer, and more protective of the health of all Americans.
