I thank Chairman Graves and Ranking Member Wasserman Schultz for their hard work on this bill. Today, during what the majority has labeled ``Innovation Week,'' we consider the smallest of the appropriation bills, which funds the operations…

Now more than ever, we must support the Department in fulfilling this most essential yet complex goal.
But it was not an independent analysis of risk and consequences of construction and operation, was it?
Thank you for being here. Thank you for your panel, your articulate answers to everything, and certainly to Under Secretary Concannon.
I would like to thank Chairman Carter, and Ranking Member Roybal-Allard for holding this important hearing today.
It is my hope that we will move forward on a bipartisan basis and not hold the nation's security and prosperity hostage over partisan games.
