On top of this blanket exemption, the bill also hands complete rulemaking power to the Fed rather than having checks and balances inside the executive branch, paving the way to completely gut the Volcker rule. You know, Fed Chair, formerly…
I need your help. We need the help of the Government of the United States to protect our people.
To have this kind of ignorance by the EPA, I consider at this point in our history, to be un-American.
For us this is a life-and-death issue, and I just don't see that the EPA is serious.
I also want to let you know that the Superfund program, which is very important to us, is terribly short-staffed in Region 5.
The budget you are submitting this year cuts the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by 90 percent, $270 million, which isn't even enough.
According to a Federal judge, who ruled just recently, you have ignored your duty as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for this Nation under the Clean Water Act.
I wore this color today for a reason. Last June I invited you, and I think it is fair to say Congressman Joyce joined me in this, to visit Lake Erie, the 12th-largest freshwater lake in the world and the shallowest of the five Great Lakes…
I reissue my invitation to you, and I think I speak for Mr. Joyce as well. Mr. Administrator, come to our area.

I can guarantee you the Veterans Department is also short on behavioral specialists and neuropsychiatric doctors as we face a crisis with PTS and with extended deployments.
If you can take a look at the doctors and the advanced practice nurses, I would be very interested in the percentage of Native Americans in total that you hire or contract with.
You provided really good data on diabetes, and the improvement is remarkable.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman and Rear Admiral Weahkee. I wanted to follow on some of my colleagues' questions...
Although I support the inclusion of a $2.7 billion increase for opioid prevention, treatment, and recovery, this funding only nibbles at the edge of the problem. This is a national crisis. It must be reflected in a real plan to meet the…
Though this is the Reserve panel, the prior panel on the Guard, last year, in the Guard, 132 soldiers committed suicide.
Obviously, Ohio is heroin alley and fentanyl alley in my district, right near where I live actually.
I urge my colleagues to once again oppose this partisan talking point and demand action on an agreement to fund the entire government for the remaining part of this fiscal year. We have little more than a week to secure a plan for the…
Yet, the Republicans had no problem finding trillions for billionaires who end up funding their campaigns, too. This prescription simply is bad medicine for America, and I ask my colleagues to vote ``no.''
I also would appreciate your comments on a bill I have introduced called the 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps.
