I hope that my colleagues, we can all, along with the industry, address this issue.

I think every state should be treated equally.

I want to hear from the rest of the panel. I only have so much time, so I--this is an issue that is important for, I think, for all of us to understand and make sure we are investing in our workforce, as well, as we move forward.

I am for consent-based siting for nuclear waste. I think it is something that needs to be done.

Some of the CARES funds had very limited utility. For example, the Municipal Liquidity Program and the Main Street Lending Program were underused.

This is literally lifesaving, and that is why I think the entire--Democrats have fought for this and will continue to fight for this.

Thank you for your work and always speaking up and out about the need to address the concerns that we see with the hospitality and travel industry that has been so hard hit because of this pandemic.

I cannot stress enough the money that we fought for, the $350 billion to our State and local governments----

We have to do more. We have a responsibility at the Federal level.

There is more we can do at a central level to incentivize it to help them develop that.

It is horrific that in this day and age we have individual communities that don't have either water or sewer infrastructure.

I have been working with our tribes in the State of Nevada.

Access to clean water is a fundamental right, and we must prioritize it for all communities.

Our hospitality industry and tourism industry has been so devastated.

It is the investors that are demanding to know this. Aren't they entitled to have this information?

I think some accountability is warranted.

People call you and your colleagues heroes for a reason. You are heroes of the heart, and I thank you for being here.

Thank you so much, and for your advocacy. It is so important.

The American Innovation and Jobs Act is also a great start to bolstering the R&D Credit.

I think the conversation we are having today is crucial if we are going to really bring back that manufacturing...

We are going to have to look at making the pass-through rates more competitive.

The FORWARD Act provides an enhanced R&D Credit for U.S. companies to the extent they also manufacture in this country.

Being able to obtain these critical minerals and resources domestically, we all know, will help incentivize domestic manufacturing and technology.

I think this is an area where we can grow our workforce and train them, create jobs--create new jobs--transition the skills to these jobs, which will benefit our workforce as well.

I have introduced legislation because I think we need to have a national strategy and a clear strategy on electric vehicle framework.
