We are going to repeat the mistakes of the past by doubling down on failed efforts from President Obama's Green Jobs Program.

I would also like to thank our DOE witnesses, Assistant Secretary Daniel Simmons and Mr. James Campos, for appearing before us today.

This is not regular order, and it is certainly not a process that the Democrats should be proud of.

We should have real oversight hearings to better understand the needs and to discover that there are gaps.

I appreciate your commitment, Mr. Administrator, this administration and its budget to three goals to the Agency's core mission, cooperative federalism, and rule of law and process.

In my district I heard about it again when I did a series of town halls a week ago. Farmers and ranchers are pretty concerned, but appreciative of where you are taking that rule.

Due to a prior commitment to speak at an event in my district that was set prior to the late change in the schedule by the Majority, I was unable to attend votes. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 157--H. Con…

We did that in a bipartisan way. We had some good, vigorous negotiations and that became law, the President signed it.

Hopefully, your recent third vote of confidence by the Senate Commerce Committee will be the charm and your confirmation will move swiftly through the United States Senate.

Cutting industry completely out of the process would benefit no one and would just increase the risk of keeping dangerous products potentially in the market longer.

CPSC protects consumers from unreasonable risks, and we know there are a lot of them out there.

I want to thank you for your work and look forward to your continued commitment to safety as confirmed Chair.

It's imperative that the CPSC's process actually works to protect consumers and not lead to expensive and unneeded litigation.

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I would just point out Gallup just announced in a survey, 65 million Americans, 20 percent, put off treatment this last year and borrowed $88 billion to cover their…

May I inquire as to how much time each side has remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oregon has 20\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 26\1/2\ minutes.

It is my great honor and privilege to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), the Republican whip of the House, and an incredibly important member of our committee.

To make a couple of comments. First of all, the President is very good to work with, and we worked in a bipartisan manner last Congress to address the Nation's opioid epidemic. That is a healthcare issue and a life-and-death issue. We…

I continue to yield myself such time as I may consume to say that I appreciate the gentleman's comments and share them. This is H.R. 692, legislation that would guarantee Americans with preexisting conditions are not discriminated against…

I'd like to make a few comments on my bill, H.R. 692, known as the Pre-Existing Conditions Protection Act of 2019. As we've made clear today, Republicans have long believed that pre- existing condition protections are an essential part of…

I know when Governor Inslee was in the House, we went toe to toe, and you opposed most of my efforts to get our forests back in balance and to reduce the threat of wildfires.

I realize that today's hearing is more about the politics of climate change than rolling up our sleeves and getting to work on domestic solutions.

As you and I have discussed, Republicans are ready and willing to work with you on policies to continue America's leadership role in developing innovative technologies to produce energy with little or no emissions.

To my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, this is really important legislation we are working on today. H.R. 1839, the Medicaid Services Investment and Accountability Act of 2019, includes short-term extensions of several key Medicaid…

The fact is, impaired driving, whether it be alcohol-impaired or drug-impaired, is a serious public risk that continues to tragically cut so many lives short.

Nearly 11,000 Americans lose their lives on our roadways each year because of the reckless decision to get behind the wheel after having consumed alcohol.
