I'm cautiously optimistic--I'm very optimistic that whoever takes over in the coming years will carry on the tradition.

And my belief is that this Committee is so effective because we have such effective leadership.

I want to take a brief moment to thank Chairwoman Johnson for her leadership and commitment to our Committee over these many years.

Ohio is ready, willing, and able to support semiconductor manufacturing right now. So we are open for business.

How can we look at this information and learn how to better reach minority-owned businesses to ensure they have the same access to these resources, and what are we doing to make this happen?

You went forward with the American Rescue Plan, which we warned would increase inflation.

I guess I would encourage you--and my concern, again, is we have seen asset bubbles accumulate over the course of the pandemic.

Inflation is particularly hard on low- and middle-income Americans, in particular those with fixed incomes.

I have proudly supported home ownership legislation as one of those initiatives.

No one should be denied housing access because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

I have been supportive of legislation that would extend protections to people who are discriminated against based on sex or sexual orientation.

I want to see our President treat Americans the same way that he is generously treating citizens of other countries.

How are we supposed to treat a country that has gone out there and stolen, through cyber attacks, intellectual property, innovation of Americans?

It is not okay for us to be out there in this global stage talking about all of these commitments that disproportionately penalize the United States economy.

the entire Chinese culture is built on deception, so I don't believe for a minute that they are going to stop it.

the World Bank put out a report when the big push was for biofuels... it increased food prices globally by about 75 percent.

the only science that is settled is the political science on your side.

We should not be clapping our hands for our European partners that like to burn biofuels instead of just going to clean natural gas that is produced in the U.S.

There is no greater threat to the environment than poverty.

the people who lost their jobs in the fossil fuel industry did not get new jobs.

The Biden administration is refusing to permit this, is refusing to allow this because our policy is not to help fund any kind of projects, fossil fuel projects, abroad.
