I couldn't agree with you more about the need for us to build out a 21st century public health infrastructure.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and let me thank you and Ranking Member Rodgers for convening this very important hearing on the committee's LIFT America infrastructure proposal.

Not only does building back better mean ensuring a strong focus on equity and justice, it also means building back smarter.

As an original co-lead of this legislation, I rise today in support of the bill that is near and dear to my heart, H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act. As the proud daughter of Jamaican immigrants, I understand the need for the…

I am proud to say that New York City is home to the first local green bank in the United States.

I think that the Clean Energy Sustainability Accelerator included in the CLEAN Future Act is a perfect example of how the Federal Government can help address this need.

Thank you to our witnesses for your testimony.

Since its inception, the New York Green Bank has used $1.2 billion of public funds to stimulate over 3.4 billion in total investment in clean energy and energy-efficiency projects across New York State.

Due to last-minute congressional business, I was unable to vote on this measure. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``yea'' on rollcall No. 80 (PPP Extension Act of 2021). MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 8, 117TH…

I am also proud to be co-leading the U.S. Citizenship Act, President Biden's plan to reform our immigration system.

I am eager and elated to turn the page on the cruel, inhumane, and morally bankrupt policies of the Trump administration.

For years, I have fought for TPS designations for countries such as these, and I continue to believe these protections remain essential.

We must rethink our approach to Federal network security, move away from legacy technologies whose security benefits diminished.

It is time we spend less money on border walls and more money on firewalls to protect our networks.

I thank the gentleman from Kentucky for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise once again in support of the American Rescue Plan Act. This monumental and comprehensive legislation will bring a sustained critical relief to the American people…

I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1446, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021. Under current Federal law, unlicensed sellers can sell guns at gun shows, online, and person…

I was participating in critical Committee proceedings and, therefore, was unable to make the first vote. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``yea'' on rollcall No. 41, Bipartisan En Bloc No. 1. MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE…

we certainly must hold the perpetrators of these attacks responsible, but we also must bolster our defenses

as a Nation, we cannot let this happen again.

Fortunately, President Biden has made it clear that going forward, we will let science, not politics, guide our response.

For decades to come, we will look back at the previous administration's handling of this crisis as a textbook case study of how not to handle a pandemic.

That was a disgrace. We need to really unpack what happened with Airbridge and make sure it never happens again.

I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for doing the right thing during your tenure at CISA and refuting Donald Trump's lies and disinformation about the 2020 election.

I thank our Ranking Member McKinley for holding this very important hearing, very timely, on Federal climate leadership.

I think this is something that we should be seriously looking into.
