So I would like to just do a comparative analysis with all of your foreign folks who are coming in.

All I need is a response and a date for the briefing.

We would like to see those documents, as well.

By what date will all of the documents requested by the committees, as well as by Representative Rice and myself be produced to us?

It seemed like you guys were very quick at making this determination, but very slow in giving your rationale.

As a result of this asymmetric ban, law enforcement would have an additional reason to stop and frisk menthol tobacco users because menthol would be considered illegal under this ban. Having said that, I cannot support H.R. 2339 due to the…

The lessons the Chairman alludes to have yet to be made public.

We believe that the longest-known communications blackout in modern U.S. history warrants an investigation.

At a time when our country is looking for ways to create jobs, protect the health of our communities, address climate change, DERA stands out for me as a prime example of what works.

DERA has been among the most cost effective federal environmental programs, reducing harmful emissions and improving air quality especially throughout low-income communities and communities of color.

Given that the EPA's fundamental priorities include protecting human health and clean air, I am trying to understand why and how this budget request justifies chopping almost 50 percent of the current funding that goes to our national…

These facts are critically important to understanding the big picture of how your budget and policy decisions directly impact the health and well-being of communities in my district in Brooklyn and in districts like mine across the country.

Are you aware that pollution from fossil fuel-burning vehicles and power plants directly contribute to high levels of asthma as well as other respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, particularly among low-income families and communities…

Just this past December, the House and the Senate came together in a bipartisan fashion to approve fiscal year 2020 appropriations for the EPA, which restored our nation's critical environmental funding that Donald Trump had attempted to…

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and I thank our ranking member, Mr. Shimkus, for convening this timely hearing on the EPA's recently proposed revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule.

This memo ways even the best-centralized treatment used by a public water system may not prevent the release of lead particles, particles that can be up to 97 percent lead.

The memo points out that a lot of water systems don't know where their lead service lines are and thus may be missing high lead levels when they go out to sample.

The memo points out that neither the states nor small or medium water systems have the expertise to establish optimal water quality parameters that will ensure lead levels are well controlled.

According to the memo, sampling just the first liter of water to come out of the tap rather than the fifth or tenth liter, missed the peak lead values 100 percent of the time.

These benefits do not outweigh the risk of automating discrimination.

Facial recognition is still in the Wild West.

There is no situation where facial recognition should be used without safeguards against bias and protections for privacy.

Unregulated, facial recognition is just not an option.

Just a few weeks ago the attack at the Hanukkah celebration in my State of New York was a vivid reminder that the ancient evil of anti-Semitism still exists, and sadly, it does not just exist. It is on the rise.

I think it is long overdue to take action.
