I find it a bit insulting that the other side of the aisle would be so disingenuous to sort of suggest that that is on the table.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Boyle, for hosting this hearing today.

One of the things that Congress has is power of the purse.

Our goal is to make the House work better for every Member, staffer, and the American people.

Modernization should not be partisan.

I am particularly excited for the work of this subcommittee.

I think that should also be something that is maybe, you know, brought forward and thought through and how we make sure that, in a particular building that has dozens of Members, how we ensure that they are kept safe.

I recognize that there has been some challenges over the last couple of years.

The potential harm that can be done by having this equipment within our infrastructure is grave, and I don't know that it has gotten enough attention.

I don't think that there is enough emphasis put on the ramifications of a cyber attack across government.

I think that is important.

I think that that is inaccurate when it comes to the defense spending. The goal, of course, is to try to hold defense spending flat.

Since President Biden took office, he has waged a full-on assault on the oil and gas industry. Instead of unleashing American energy production, he has unleashed our energy reserves. Now, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest…

Last night I had the honor of being one of the co-captains for the Congressional Women's Softball Game which, for the first time since 2015, we beat the press. As was mentioned, this game is vital in raising awareness for the Young…

Thank you. And, for Representative Perlmutter, my friend and coach, I think part of that--I recognize the connections there, it is re-marketing.

I would encourage our friends to consider putting that up for a vote soon.

All too often Republicans are called pro-birth or we`re told that we only care about children before they are born. This is simply not true.

I once again thank Representative Sherrill for sponsoring this important legislation. Better precipitation estimates will improve the way we do business, manage infrastructure, and prevent losses during natural disasters. This is a smart…

I rise again in support of H.R. 7077, the Empowering the U.S. Fire Administration Act. As I previously mentioned, the USFA has valuable and lifesaving resources in preventing, responding to, and investigating fires. This bill would ensure…

As we invest in technology, we also have to be thinking about investing in the work force because without those work force employees, then we're not going to be able to deploy.

Your story is incredibly important for us to all hear, so that no other service member has to endure the type of pain that you have endured over these last months and years.

I can't imagine getting that knock at the door. So, please know that my heart and prayers go out to both of you.

My concern here is that this work force is actually taking away dollars that we could be investing in technology innovation.

I understand the importance of increasing our resiliency to extreme weather events and more frequent environmental hazards.

In today's political environment, everything tends to be polarized, but when it comes to the common good of protecting human health, not every precious action has to be repealed or replaced.
