Anthony D'Esposito

Recreational boating, recreational fishing, and, of course, commercial fishing have an obligation to be stewards to conservation efforts and protect marine habitats.

Recreational boating and fishing supports our local economies. And it is really just part of our culture.

I am already just about out of time, but I will just say we have 57,000 licensed saltwater anglers in Rhode Island.

The MAPOceans Act directs the standardization, consolidation, and digitization of boating and recreational fishing information.

Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone, and thank you, Chairman Bentz, for allowing me to waive on to the Subcommittee hearing to speak about legislation myself and Representative Levin introduced.

Congressman D'Esposito's MAPOceans Act looks to make important data from NOAA easily accessible to the multiple users of our ocean resources.

The American people are paying the price for the Biden border crisis. And it is a shame.

That success would not have been possible were it not for the Federal transit worker protections, also known as 13(c) protections.

In 2011, Nassau County, the county that I am proud to represent in New York, privatized our public transportation system.

It is important that we mitigate any unnecessary risks posed against our Nation's firefighters.

I am committed to supporting our Nation's firefighters, both career and volunteer, and ensuring that they have every resource necessary to provide the best emergency response services to their community.

I encourage OSHA to consider the unique needs of volunteer fire departments and to incorporate their feedback into the proposed standard before the comment period ends.

I have no issues in supporting Donald Trump for president United States.

Everyone knows the reality of the crisis at the southern border. We know that narco-terrorist groups are exploiting President Biden's weakness to import record amounts of fentanyl into the United States. Just two milligrams of fentanyl…

I rise as the designee of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Molinaro), and I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 5, line 3, strike ``and''…

I thank Mr. Rutherford for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my friend from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell), who is the co-chair of the Law Enforcement Caucus.

I think that we're seeing now--that's the fire departments, the police departments, they're careers that are generational.

But what, specifically, have you seen with your officers with regards to the migrant situation and its effect on morale?

Obviously, Austin's not alone in places across New York, luckily not in Nassau and Suffolk County.

We have seen an obscene amount of wasteful spending in this administration that's going to cost our children and grandchildren for decades.

So, I represent the southwest corner of Long Island. It's an area that was not only crushed in Hurricane Sandy, but just months prior to that, Tropical Storm Irene devastated it.

There needs to start being repercussions for those who completely alienate the will of that conference.

So, I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, let us work on this as Americans. H.R. 2 is our starting point.

This issue will destroy New York City.

Yes, people are freaking out. Yes, there is chaos because Joe Biden and the Homeland Security has left our borders wide open.
