Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I think time and time again we've seen how minimizing the data the companies are collecting on the front end is critical to ensuring that consumers' privacy is protected and also has huge benefits for data security.

I appreciate the breadth and importance of the FTC's consumer protection work.

risks associated with the termination of waivers and flexibilities that were permitted under the public health emergency.

I am concerned by false claims that the FTC's Twitter compliance investigation is partisan.

The problem is that the GOP doesn't like the FTC enforcement role. They would simply gut the FTC at the expense of consumers.

I am calling this the polluters over people act because it eliminates the environmental protections that keep families and communities safe while doing nothing to lower energy costs. Everyday Americans need relief from high energy costs…

The gentleman from Texas' amendment would undermine EPAs critical Underground Injection Control program and endanger the health of communities around the Nation, in my opinion. The Underground Injection Control program, or UIC, regulates…

I keep hearing that Republicans want to lower energy costs with this bill and how important it is to export natural gas overseas. I want to take a moment to examine some history here. Back in 2015, with a Republican-controlled House and a…

I hope after today we don't hear Republicans talk about States' rights again. Pipeline and LNG projects require both Federal and State permits. The spirit of the Clean Water Act clearly demands that States have a say in the requirements…

Frankly, I have no idea why this amendment is being offered. It would force the Department of Energy to ride the roller coaster that is the oil future's market, without any option to just pay a simple fixed price for a barrel of oil. If…

I frankly don't understand the purpose of this amendment. Last spring, FERC issued an updated policy statement, an interim guidance, detailing how the Commission should treat new applications for natural gas pipelines and account for…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Colorado will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Crenshaw The Acting CHAIR. It…

A common refrain that I hear from Republicans is that unilateral action by the United States to reduce greenhouse gases would harm our economy and wouldn't move the needle on reducing global emissions. The core of this argument is that if…

Our reauthorization of user fees should not be seen by the majority or anybody as a justification to cut FDA's budget.

The two animal user fee programs we are reviewing today support the timely review of both pioneer and generic drugs at the Food and Drug Administration while supporting the agency's public health mission and gold standard for safety and…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma will be postponed. Amendment No. 6 Offered by Ms. Houlahan The Acting CHAIR. It is…

The Delaware River Basin Commission is made up of representatives from the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and my home State of New Jersey. The commission oversees drinking water quality for the Delaware River Watershed, a…

Frankly, I could not disagree more with this amendment. It claims that President Biden's budget would repeal tax breaks that are ``vital to the oil and natural gas industry of the United States.'' This is the same Big Oil that last year…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey is recognized for 5 minutes. {time} 1600

Again, FERC is not radical. There is a statute that says that FERC has to consider greenhouse gas emissions. They put out a policy statement about how they are going to do that and asked for the industry to look at it and give their input…

I oppose the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the…

These athletes deserve a system that puts players' welfare first, not the NCAA's bottom line.

not expanding Medicaid or cuts to Medicaid are really going to starve the healthcare systems in rural areas, and impact red States in a major way.

16.4 million Americans have secured health insurance through the Affordable Care marketplaces.
