Do we have a system in place that can react quickly and uniformly around the Nation to address the latest drug problem that arises?

Do we have the same procedures and standards in place for labs, and almost as important, the same contractual terms with labs so that you are paying the same price everywhere? Because, frankly, some of them do it on the cheap. And the…

Do we have the same testing rules and procedures in place everywhere, including best out of practices--out-of-competition testing practices? And, frankly, that is the way you catch cheaters. And the answer to that is no.

I am committed to working with all stakeholders to promote the health and safety of horses and jockeys.

I think we have to take some bold action to stem the worse impacts of catastrophic climate change.

It is clear from the testimony today that wildfire risk in the American West is extreme, and it is also clear that wildfires are not exclusively a Western State problem.

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and more dangerous and more destructive due to the impacts of climate change.

Most wildfires in the United States are caused by human activity.

The average annual number of large wildfires in the Western United States has tripled and the area burned six times greater.

That is why I am looking forward to hearing from the panel of agency witnesses who agreed to appear before the Subcommittee today.

In my home state of New Jersey, for example, state law allows for the use of medical cannabis.

Today the Subcommittee will have an important hearing about federal cannabis policies.

I can do something about the DEA and the FDA not making marijuana available for patients who need it.

Representation matters because the people behind the scenes influence the programming that we see and hear.

The numbers are clear--and alarming. While women and people of color make up over fifty percent of our population, broadcast ownership by them hovers around ten percent.

I do not think anyone can dispute that ownership of our media does not reflect the diversity of our country.

The numbers are clear and alarming. While women and people of color make up over 50 percent of our population, broadcast ownership by them hovers around ten percent and we have to do better.

I congratulate Chairman Tonko, and Representatives Olson, Peters and Stefanik for seizing this opportunity.

I think this bill is good for workers, good for the economy, good for consumers, and good for the environment.

Fortunately, American companies are innovating new substitutes for HFCs, and that means we have an opportunity to gain additional environmental benefits.

The bill will help the United States maintain its position as a leader in the chemical, appliance, and equipment industries.

This legislation is supported by both industry and the environmental community. It will benefit our economy, maintain American manufacturing leadership, create jobs, and protect the environment.

As Congress and the Committee consider further action on the opioid crisis, I would like to hear more about how federal funds have been used to make a difference.
