The unprecedented plague of opioid addiction and substance use disorder in our country requires an unprecedented response.

There's enormous potential with the development of small-scale modular reactors including from my home State of Oregon in NuScale.

You raise an interesting issue about the U.S. attorneys weighing in here and saying to the DEA, stop--don't do your ISO--we want to proceed with the criminal investigation.

For nearly a year, this committee has been investigating how inordinate numbers of pills were shipped to pharmacies in rural West Virginia.

May I inquire as to how much time remains for each side. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Weber of Texas). The gentleman from Oregon has 3 minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 1 minute remaining.

When Illinois took this up, they approved it 169-1 in their assembly. Mr. Speaker, I yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Griffith).

I now have the honor of yielding 3 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick), who has been, even before he got to the Congress, an extraordinary advocate for this cause and for the patients with terminally ill conditions.

We have a history of producing bipartisan user fee reauthorizations, most recently as last year, and so I look forward to continuing in those efforts with this one.

Today's hearing, examining legislation addressing cybersecurity and emergency response, will help us respond to some of the most urgent challenges to the reliability of our Nation's energy infrastructure.

So at the end of the day, if we focus on what's best for consumers we will continue to make good public policy decisions.

In today's highly interconnected world, the threat of cyberattacks is ever present. So we have to be vigilant.

We are looking ahead to make sure we are doing everything we can to protect our electric grid and our oil and natural gas infrastructure as well and improve our ability to respond when the unexpected happens.

This is really important stuff for our country and those of us who have been briefed up on it know the importance of the work that's going on in our agencies and the security issues that are really before us.

In a bad flu season, more than 50,000 people die, nearly as many as the Nation lost during the Vietnam War.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing on the very important issue of public health preparedness for and response efforts to the seasonal influenza.

I would concur with my friend's comments. I am happy to work on these issues involving spectrum. I know there are multiple uses around, and we want to make sure that those using these frequencies are not disadvantaged. I look forward to…

The breakthroughs in fuels and vehicles can be done in a way that benefits consumers while also achieving environmental and other objectives

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, appreciate it. Appreciate your leadership on this and so many other issues.

The sources of alternative fuels in the marketplace relies heavily upon the ability to bring down the cost per mile traveled

The internet's incredible ability to transform old ways of doing business is by now widely known.

And our goal here is to put the customer first.

The ability of the internet to remove barriers is as easy to understand as it is to pull out your phone and order pretty much anything you want.

And so we need to look at what Federal issues are in the way of allowing that to move forward.

We would welcome a bipartisan effort to do that.

We want to make sure this marketplace continues to grow and that we don't stand in the way with Federal policy.
