Last year, the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology took a significant step to reinvigorate the U.S. science and technology enterprise with the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act.

we will have the chance to have a multidecadal national context within which will reside this important 4-year strategic plan.

safeguarding our research is actually another wonderful opportunity for us in the U.S. to lead with our values.

the potential benefits are incredibly galvanizing to students.

We cannot depend upon a growing international S&T enterprise, which is a good thing and is lifting all boats.

For more than 70 years, the United States has been the unquestioned global leader in science, technology, and innovation.

One place where there's a tremendous opportunity to show leadership is in confronting climate change, one of the most important challenges of our time.

This leadership was built on the vision and political will of our leaders in the aftermath of World War II.

We face new and ever-growing challenges and threats of foreign interference in our S&T enterprise.

I personally believe that we need a STEM--a national STEM workforce and talent initiative similar in many respects to the GI Bill.

Through our S&T strategy, we can leverage scientific investments to tackle our greatest challenges.

I want to start by expressing my strong opposition to the notion that the solution to the so-called crisis in American education is to funnel taxpayer dollars to unaccountable private schools, and for-profit charter schools.

A real crisis in American education is that many of my colleagues in Congress and in State legislatures, are applying a device of strategy rooted in discrimination toward an exclusion of LGBTQ students, and students with disabilities.

Research has shown repeatedly that vouchers do not improve student achievement, and when policymakers make a conscious decision to give coupons to certain students to attend private schools, their message to the millions of students still…

I strongly oppose violence and destruction of property regardless of venue. The resolution on the floor today, however, is a distraction from the real issue regarding crisis pregnancy centers, which is that they regularly provide…

This bill is extremist, dangerous, and unnecessary. It is extremist because it would criminalize doctors with up to 5 years in prison and put them in fear of providing lifesaving, medically necessary procedures to those who are pregnant…

Experts predict that by the end of the century, hundreds of towns, cities, and villages across the United States and around the world will be all or partially underwater.

This is an issue that I've worked on on a bipartisan basis, particularly with Representative Posey over the years.

Mr, Speaker, I rise today in support of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, long overdue legislation to address gun violence in our schools and neighborhoods. Although this legislation is far from perfect, it is an important step forward…

To eliminate child hunger, we must deliver sustained investments in our child nutrition programs.

Reauthorization is critical to addressing child hunger, and I hope my Republican colleagues will join Democrats to pass a comprehensive Federal child nutrition reauthorization.

I ask my colleagues critical of our attempts to lower costs not to just oppose our efforts, but please work with us and offer solutions to help families put food on the table.
