We all want to produce a bill that can help address the current challenges and opportunities of our pipeline system.

I hope that as we move forward our Energy and Commerce majority will seek to make this historically bipartisan process just that--bipartisan.

We should not be playing politics with pipeline safety but instead, we should be working on a bill that has received proper and necessary technical feedback from PHMSA and all members of this committee.

I thank my colleague for supporting the amendment. I, too, urge my colleagues to support this amendment. I thank Representative Tonko for working with me on this program in the Energy and Commerce Committee and on this particular…

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 68, line 12, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $2,000,000)''. Page 90, line 6, after the…

My amendment would address the ongoing opioid crisis by funding the Regional Centers of Excellence in Substance Use Disorder Education, which was authorized last year as a part of H.R. 6. This program aims to increase the amount of…

Congress should focus on policies that encourage research and development of all sources of energy.

In reality, it would dump tens of trillions of federal dollars into new programs and mandates... that will increase energy costs, raise taxes, eliminate jobs.

Innovation is the cornerstone of America. It is what we do best.

The Green New Deal has 93 cosponsors... a $93 trillion proposal that has been hailed on the left as a massive transformation of our society.

How can we have a discussion, a serious discussion about climate change... without addressing the primary plank... the Green New Deal?

Arizona is part of the solution to America's nuclear fuel imbalance, and we should prepare to play a constructive role.

Keeping your word as a public official is more important than taking a stand or being 'right' on an issue.

I continue to view such activities as posing no credible threat of environmental harm to either the Grand Canyon National Park or the Colorado River that flows through it.

Public service is a noble calling. After nearly 23 years of service, the one thing upon which I pride myself more than anything else is keeping my word, honoring the commitments which others and I have made to the people of Arizona.

If I had even the slightest indication that mining would affect the Canyon or the health of the people I represent, I would be adamantly opposed to it.

If there weren't significant mining deposits in the area, Rep. Grijalva wouldn't have introduced a form of this bill every year since 2008.

Fundamentally, it is a direct attempt to undo the commitment given in 1984 to the people of Arizona.

I appreciate the opportunity to move past the, quote, 'free health care' tagline and talk about the actual reality of implementing Medicare for All.

I was absent during this morning's vote on final passage of H.R. 5 due to travel for an unavoidable medical appointment back in Ohio. Had I been present for this vote on H.R. 5, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 215, ``yea'' on…

I share the concerns about asbestos. I don't think there is any question about the health implications of asbestos.

Put simply, this legislation forces President Trump's hand to carry out the goals of his predecessor, but this administration was elected to tackle our energy issues differently, our environmental issues differently. Americans asked for…

I appreciate that this budget addresses a mounting problem of unsustainable debt that we are facing in our country.

I also think the proposal to continue the tax relief provided by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is a wise policy.

I worry that these standards could have a disproportionally adverse impact on low-income households as the costs of appliances go up.
