Tim Ryan

We are all engaged in this endeavor in trying to create a more perfect union.

Thank you for allowing me to testify today.

We are trying to offset our power with the power of the executive, and sometimes it gets really hard.

I need to warn you, however, that we will be wrestling with our other subcommittees for any new funding we can get to finance these needs.

It is very important that the subcommittee hear the concerns of our fellow legislators and members of the public.

I think when you talk about reforming government it is so important to provide these kind of protections for people who are really on the inside and really know how things work.

I just want to publicly say I am all into that.

This transition was one of the largest, and I applaud each of your teams' efforts.

This request will allow us Members an opportunity to retain and hire the best and brightest.

The fiscal year 2020 budget request for the House of Representatives is $1.4 billion.

Providing adequate resources to keep our Capitol complex physically safe remains this committee's top priority.

The men and women of the Capitol Police put their lives on the line each day to ensure Congress is able to operate efficiently.

The Capitol Police is an essential agency of the legislative branch.

Great. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Jackson, and your team.

Unfortunately, the President's budget proposes a large cut to these programs that will discourage entrepreneurship at a time where we cannot afford it.

I am happy to be leading our bipartisan Dear Colleague letter right now with Representatives Dr. Joyce of Pennsylvania, Murphy of Florida, and Stauber of Minnesota, that we will be sending to the subcommittee urging robust funding levels…

The site would create 2,300 jobs where we desperately need them in northeast Ohio.

We want to be partners with you as we walk down this road together.

I think the defense strategy really captured the, you know, great power competition that we are all talking about now.

H.R. 801, Congressman Palazzo and I have the Reserve Component Employer Incentive, Compensation, and Relief Act, which is a tax credit for employers who hire Guard and Reserve.

We will look to the corporate process to determine where those aircraft would best be needed.

I appreciate that, and I appreciate your focus on it. Thank you.

I remain concerned... about life balance for our soldiers and particularly those that are financially stressed...

I look at a couple different factors, but the one that is probably the most pronounced is about 50 percent... are either completely unemployed or what I would regard as significantly underemployed.

I think this is one of the fundamental issues in the country right now is that our adversaries are intentionally trying to keep us divided in the country.
