We need a single authority.

While the current version of the bill includes language for a feasibility study on the Tulsa-West Tulsa levees, this amendment simply strengthens the language by aligning the House version of the bill with the already Senate-passed bill…

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 72, strike lines 19 through 21. At the end of title II, add the following: SEC. 2__. TULSA AND WEST…

I just wanted to directly respond to something that my good friend, Mr. Perlmutter from Colorado, said...

I think that what we should expect to see is the Chinese attempting to redefine the international rules to new sets that will basically benefit the Chinese.

Given their notorious lack of transparency, we do not know their true intentions with a space station.

The Space Race is over, and we won.

I would like to thank the majority leader for introducing this bill H.R. 6007, and for his efforts on behalf of the entire commercial space industry. Due to his efforts, we got a great bill in the Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness…

I just want to say to our panelists here today, a vote has been called and so we'll be interrupted, regrettably.

I just want to make it clear on the record, back in May EPA Administrator McCarthy stated that she will expedite issuing regulations for reducing methane emissions from existing sources, so that is not speculation.

Even if we shut down and stopped all American oil and gas production, it will have no impact on global temperatures.

EPA should take a breath and realize that the best available science does not support new rulemaking.

These rules will cost billions of dollars, place a heavy burden on American families, and diminish the ability of American businesses to compete around the world.

Oklahoma is leading the way in demonstrating that responsible exploration and production with industry-led voluntary emission reduction practices realizes decreased emissions without burdensome mandates from the EPA.

EPA is simply exaggerating their claims.

I am concerned about the EPA's expansive interpretation of its regulatory scope and its continued use of questionable scientific bases for rulemaking.

According to the study's author, 'The U.S. energy industry contributes little to the overall burden of global fossil fuel emissions.'

EPA cherry-picks the science that fits its agenda and ignores the science that does not support its position.

EPA's methane rule relies on faulty scientific evidence and data, and the final rule constitutes an abuse of authority.

Like all regulations promulgated by the EPA, the methane regulation is no different. It stifles economic growth, destroys American jobs, and increases energy prices.

The EPA has become an agency that promotes an extreme political agenda rather than reasonable policies based on sound science.

Technological advances under development and implemented by industry will only lead to further reductions, without the need for costly and burdensome EPA regulations.

My mission here is to get as much data, the right data so that we can ultimately move to a day where we have zero deaths from tornadoes.

I think all of us on both sides of the aisle agree that we absolutely must have a government backbone because it is for the lives and safety of our citizens but also for the property of Americans.

I look forward to an in-depth discussion today about how private-sector data and products can build on the foundation provided by NOAA to help enhance the safety of all Americans.
