However, the title of today's hearing, 'Destruction of Records at EPA - When Records Must Be Kept,' makes it appear that we have reached a verdict before we have examined any evidence.

I am wholly supportive of efforts to ensure the proper preservation of government records, and equally supportive of holding accountable those who have intentionally and unlawfully destroyed federal records.

The issuance of this subpoena seems premature and hard to justify.

As someone who strongly believes in transparent government, I would certainly take issue with any government agency unlawfully destroying records.

I also want to point out that the National Center for Health Research is concerned. They ask: What happens if a scientist relies on expertise that is not specifically permitted in the bill? Will there be legal ramifications? Clearly…

The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to set the standard for ozone at a level that will protect public health with an adequate margin of safety.

Everyone on this Committee agrees that we need clean air, and everyone should agree that we have seen some great improvements in air quality since the passage of the Clean Air Act.

I want to thank, again, my cosponsor of this amendment and those who spoke in favor. Good, quality assessments can inform instruction. Duplicative assessments need to be eliminated. This amendment gives districts and States the flexibility…

At this time I yield 1 minute to my colleague from Colorado (Mr. Polis).

May I inquire about the balance of my time? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Oregon has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I would like to thank Representative Clark for yielding and for offering this important amendment. High-quality early childhood education sets up students for success throughout their lives and is a critical component of any education…

Thank you, Mr. Ranking Member, for yielding. Mr. Chair, I want to thank Representative Davis and Representative Joyce Beatty for offering this amendment. The savings clause is an important feature of the Elementary and Secondary Education…

Thank you. And I just went out to the school and did a presentation before I came back to D.C. and they were thrilled.

I am glad to see on behalf of my constituents in Oregon--I will name just a few that are important--clean energy technology, secure and trustworthy cyberspace.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Dr. Cordova, welcome back to the Committee.

It is also important to remember that the Affordable Care Act is about more than a website; it is about access to healthcare for millions of Americans.

Whenever we are talking about legislating in the area of technology, it is always a challenge to find the right balance

So a constituent of mine in Oregon recently contacted my office and brought to my attention that there is a gap in radar coverage along the Oregon coast.

I'm looking forward to hearing the witnesses from GAO, NOAA, and NASA discuss the agencies' plan of action to address the looming gap in satellite coverage.

Oversight of NOAA's weather satellites has been a longstanding bipartisan effort of this Committee...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and I want to begin this morning by offering my congratulations to you, Mr. Bridenstine...

There is always a problem in legislating around technology.

I actually sent a letter to Secretary Foxx joined by several colleagues who are concerned about the timeline.

I do look forward to hearing how we in Congress and across the Federal Government can help safely and responsibly support the development of this exciting industry with so much potential.

The potential benefits of UAS technology to agriculture, environmental research, natural resource management... is really multiplied by expanding the workforce focused on the development of new products.
