I hope that--I love watching you and our Chairwoman interact. I think of Michigan and Toledo and Ohio...

Well, we have been in this boat before. The concern is we ratchet it down to a level that becomes nearly impossible or super expensive to ramp it back up.

I want to caution the Army against doing that on the back of our defense industrial base.

I am concerned about deployment fatigue, what it does to the morale of our soldiers, and how you are addressing retention issues.

We need to ensure that the health and welfare of our soldiers and their families is truly our number-one priority.

I commend President Biden for his recent nomination of Christine Wormuth to be the first female Secretary of the Army.

I am working to try to get a comprehensive assessment done as people come into the military to really try to understand.

I appreciate it. Yes, when you get that data let us know. And thank you so much for all your leadership.

I strongly encourage the committee to prioritize policies that ensure America's workers build America's infrastructure.

The interagency paralysis, which has lasted decades, is a shameful example of Government bureaucracy at its worst.

I adamantly believe that every person has a right to clean drinking water.

I want to thank Chairman DeFazio for his leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and on each of the COVID-19 relief packages we passed, and the American Rescue Plan.

If not, the future is going to belong to China because they`re spending 7 to 9 percent of their GDP on infrastructure. They`re dominating us in 59. They`re dominating the electric vehicle market, at least pre-pandemic.

We need a public investment if you`re going to lure these companies in New York and Silicon Valley looking for lower cost centers in places like Youngstown and Akron, Ohio, or somewhere in Ohio, we had better have the broadband, we better…

Yeah. I mean, here we go. I mean, they don`t have to abide by the rules when the Republicans are in charge. Deficits don`t matter when Republicans are in charge. And then all of a sudden, the Democrats come in, and they want everybody to…
