We must swiftly pass the Protective Older Workers Against Discrimination Act to restore protections against age discrimination for older workers.

It is passed time for Congress to take action to make sure that all workers can earn a living without fear of discrimination.

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act clearly establishes nationwide a pregnant worker's right to reasonable accommodations.

It is unacceptable that in 2021 pregnant workers can still be forced to choose between a healthy pregnancy, or a paycheck.

These are challenging times for everyone, including for our Nation's young people, who are trying to cope with growing up and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. At this challenging time, arts education is more important than ever. The…

I wish we had more than 5 minutes. So I was glad that you mentioned the high level panel for sustainable ocean economy in your testimony.

As Co-Chair of the House Oceans Caucus, I rise in support of S. 914, a bill to reauthorize and increase funding for the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System. The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the planet, but despite our…

Thank you for doing such an effective job of representing Oregon and your district, but also being such a staunch champion for science.

We can capture this potential to help mitigate the climate crisis.

I appreciate Chair Grijalva's leadership to incorporate many of these recommendations into the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act.

This bill will assess the potential for an Advanced Research Projects Agency-Oceans, or ARPA-O, to help overcome the long-term and high-risk barriers in the development of ocean technologies.

Thank you so much, Chairman Grijalva, for your leadership on ocean climate action.

I thank my colleague for yielding. I also thank Chairman DeFazio for his ongoing efforts to help us bring this important bill to the floor today. As the co-chair of the House Oceans Caucus, I rise in strong support of Save Our Seas 2.0, a…

The cost of inaction is pretty clear.

the cost of inaction is pretty clear.

In April I joined with my colleague on this Committee Congressman Jerry McNerney in calling on FEMA to develop disaster preparation and recovery plans.

I represent a district in Oregon. My home State has seen wildfires at unprecedented rates this year.

The road to recovery is going to be long, and it's going to be challenging.

May I please inquire how much time remains on each side. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Oregon has 13 minutes remaining.

I thank my friend and colleague, Mr. Guthrie, for his kind remarks. Madam Speaker, I yield as much time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Iowa (Ms. Finkenauer), the author of this important bipartisan legislation.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this motion are postponed…

I strongly support the bipartisan bills we're talking about today, the RISE Act, and the Supporting Early Career Researchers Act, and I'll continue to advocate for their passage, hopefully in a coronavirus relief package.

We won't restart our economy without access to child care.

We are in an unprecedented moment in our nation's history.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today with a heavy heart to honor the life of Representative John Lewis, whose passing is a tremendous loss for Congress and for the entire country. I will always remember walking across the…
