Carbon capture is critically important going forward, because we are going to continue to have forms of energy that do contain some carbon emissions.

There is no real reasonable scenario that we meet net-zero by 2050 without continued investment into carbon capture.

I continue to work with Senator Bennet on carbon capture through our Carbon Capture Improvement Act.

I think carbon capture is absolutely critical.

We have 45Q, which is the tax credit which we just extended for an additional 2 years.

I know there have been casualties and there have been fatalities, but do think that pulling out on an arbitrary date, not conditions based at all and not providing any sense of continued support for the intelligence community to be able to…

I am very concerned that we are pulling out not because of any conditions having been met, but just choosing an arbitrary date which gives the Taliban tremendous leverage.

I just worry it becomes a safe haven for terrorists again.

The provisions in your and Senator Brown's bill are the tool chest that America needs to compete.

I think we need to find a way so we are not constantly playing Whack-A-Mole as China uses subsidies and over-production to avoid our duties.

Take concrete steps to level the playing field for American workers.

The rapid and retroactive restoration of the exclusion from the section 301 tariffs and the MTB is needed to prevent further job losses.

Our legislation would make it easier for manufacturers to win cases when China moves its factories to new countries.

Cambria sincerely thanks Senator Portman and Senator Brown for their meaningful and bipartisan efforts to strengthen and modernize America's trade remedy laws.

Those are all things that can be fixed, and as you know, I am also not sure that disposable gowns make sense.

I appreciate the fact that our oversight so far--and we have sent a lot of letters and done a lot of interviews--that that oversight has been not just bipartisan but nonpartisan, and that we have been able to set aside politics and focus…

I have had a great frustration with our Department of Defense in this area, in particular their refusal to issue those long-term contracts, which I never understood.

I appreciate your staying in touch with us. On the tax gap, I was intrigued hearing earlier the comments from Chairman Wyden and other members of the committee.

And my response is, you mean somebody who is making $300,000 a year should not have to help pay for our roads, highways, and bridges?

We have made efforts here in this Committee to ensure that FEMA's Nonprofit Security Grant Program is effective in providing protection to synagogues, other places of worship, nonprofits.

Give me a commitment today that you will put your thinking cap on and see if there is any creative way.

Will you commit to notifying this Committee as soon as you become aware of any issue that could delay the data past September 17th?

I hope you understand the negative consequences here, because we are in the middle of a redistricting change in Ohio.

By law, redistricting data should be available 3 months after the apportionment data, but this is 5 months later.

That seems nonsensical to me, to be frank with you, that you cannot find some way to bolster your expertise.
