I appreciate how much you have embraced the Disaster Recovery Reform Act and the long-term benefits it will have.

It should go without saying that the Government must address the needs of all Americans in disaster recovery.

There is a lot of responsibility that is falling on your shoulders.

We need that leadership at the head of FEMA, especially during these trying times.

I am glad to hear you had a good relationship with FEMA, because that is part of the challenge, is getting the FEMA reimbursements after some of these problems to deal with the animals.

A person will not leave a domestic violence situation or a home where there is abuse if they can't take their pet with them.

We need to do something.

When we take care of animals during a disaster, it makes it easier for people to be willing to evacuate and then later to begin the process of recovery.

These animals are members of our families, and their safety has a major impact on how people prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.

So let us be judged today by what we can accomplish to protect animals in disasters.

However, much to my dismay, FEMA has so far chosen to ignore this provision.

I will note that, in the recently passed Disaster Recovery Reform Act, known as DRRA, we included language to establish veterinary response teams.

We have heard a lot today about how the Global Gag Rule has a negative impact on women, generally.

That doesn't answer my question of why you wouldn't use this as the guideline for meeting the IG's recommendation.

Donald Trump was not President when he entered into that lease agreement.

Let's just be clear that the reason this is an issue is because Mr. Trump is President.

And how much money will the taxpayers receive if it is sold for the $500 million.

If Boeing can waive a nondisclosure, you would think the President of the United States would find it in the public's interest to do the same, but apparently not.

Let me repeat: President Trump is both the GSA's tenant and its boss. That's an obvious problem.

Instead of helping those that are more secure, we keep investing in those are that are insecure, and why is that the case and how do we change that?

Our whole pattern seems to be just buying results. We will give you some money if you will do this.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this markup and for including my bill, H.R. 3373, the Office of International Disability Rights Act.

The overwhelming passage of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act from the House.

One example I think of is the overwhelming passage of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act from the House.

The U.S. has been slow to recognize and respond to the ways that the Chinese government and Communist Party have moved into all different spaces of international relations.
