Repealing the ACA and cutting Medicaid by nearly a trillion dollars over the next 10 years will do nothing but undermine our efforts to treat Americans who are suffering from opioid addiction.

Well thank you. It certainly sounds, Mr. Chairman, like there are ways we can increase collaboration.

It is critical that Tribes have a voice in the licensing and relicensing process.

I don't want to see this process drag out unnecessarily, but I do feel that there are important natural resource considerations that must be reviewed and adequately satisfied before a dam is given the stamp of approval to operate for…

No interest, whether it be power, drinking water, irrigation, commercial fishery, recreation, or other use should automatically take precedence in the licensing process.

This should not happen. While hydroelectric power licensees depend on rivers for free fuel, those rivers belong to all Americans, not just those who sell or buy the power generated from it.

Hydroelectric power is among the most mature generating technologies providing substantial, virtually carbon-free, baseload energy at low cost to our manufacturing sector and to residential and commercial consumers.

As I've said before, Democrats strongly support modernizing our energy infrastructure, much of which is outdated, on the verge of disrepair, or inadequate for today's needs.

We support, as our other witnesses did, having the Corps deal with their own process and really getting FERC out of that jurisdiction.

Funding for research and development is paramount, and the Federal Government is the largest financial supporter of basic research.

Safer batteries would prevent these kinds of tragedies from occurring.

Today's hearing gives us the opportunity to explore some ways in which science and scientific research is allowing us to improve materials already in use or create new materials that are more adaptable to the needs of consumers and…

I continue to believe that they are.

Some brand drug manufacturers are using REMS programs to delay competition

We must ensure that we are limiting barriers to generic entry wherever possible

We should encourage and support robust generic competition in the marketplace

I have been told... that you guys can go down to H-157 right now as we speak and go in there to the basement, the secret basement... and look at the bill that is going to be marked up next Wednesday.

We are not hatching some bill in a back room and plopping it up on the American people's front door.

It seems like everyone knows that there is going to be a markup in full committee next Wednesday of the Affordable Care Act except for the Democrats who haven't been told anything.

Well, thanks. I am just going to go back to Mr. Tygart for one more question.

At the end of the day, it's the athletes, not the suits, who billions of people around the world tune in to watch. It's the athletes who leave us holding our breath. Without them, there is no sport. And without them, there is no true and…

Even today, it remains unclear what sanctions the IOC and other sports-related organizations can or will take in response to WADA's independent investigation.

WADA's investigation read like a cold war novel. Tainted urine samples had secretly passed through a wall and were swapped for clean samples.
