Finally, I'm pleased we were able to work with Ranking Members Rodgers and Guthrie on this hearing and on this bipartisan slate of bills that will improve the health of children and families all across the Nation.

I would urge, again, bipartisan support. This is an important next step in our effort to try to secure our equipment and prevent foreign actors, such as the Chinese, from interfering with our national security, and I yield back the balance…

Again, this is part of our effort to enhance economic growth with regard to trusted communications vendors both here and abroad. I urge my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore…

Again, this is a very important bill addressing the opioid epidemic with these various grant programs. Madam Speaker, I would ask for support on a bipartisan basis, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

I, too, would say this is an important bill, both from the point of view of moving toward more domestic manufacturing and addressing the supply chain shortages that we saw during COVID-19 for drugs. Madam Speaker, I ask for Members to…

We know that there are oral health disparities by race and by income.

In closing, I would ask that Members support this bill that helps our small communications providers, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New Jersey…

I would also like to thank our former colleague, Representative Nolan, for coming to share his daughter Katherine's story and to discuss the Katherine's Law for Lung Cancer Early Detection and Survival Act.

I ask if the gentleman is prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has tested every aspect of family health and demonstrated how critical physical and social environmental factors are to health outcomes.

I urge support for this bill. It is very important in terms of trying to promote these coalitions at a local community level to prevent drug overuse. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question…

National security depends on the performance of American manufacturing.

When we are foreclosing those opportunities, we are denying the American Dream to millions and millions of our fellow countrymen and -women.

Why is it that we are not manufacturing here? Why is it that we depend on China and other countries?

Globalization protectionist policies and market interventions by other countries have profoundly changed the global economic landscape.

America's competitiveness helped build the largest, most dynamic economy in the world, but it is facing unprecedented challenges.

Manufacturing is a tremendous driver of innovation and patents in the United States.

The spillover effects of manufacturing are critically important.

Communications networks play an integral role in the lives of our constituents, and today we are going to examine legislation aimed at strengthening those networks.

Without this extension, the universal service programs, including rural broadband, rural healthcare, telemedicine, E-rate and Lifeline programs may be at risk.

H.R. 2489, the Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act, would require the FCC to issue rules to limit the costs that may be charged to incarcerated individuals or their families.

The breadth and significance of these bills demands much more than a last-minute legislative hearing.
