Brian Fitzpatrick

Thank you for holding this Member Day hearing and providing me with the opportunity to share the concerns of my constituents and community.

I urge my colleagues to continue to support this initiative that will modernize our bureaucracy to support these vulnerable groups.

Food insecurity is persisting amid this post-pandemic recovery, and it is affecting our most vulnerable communities.

This bipartisan bill will meet that obligation.

I was proud to introduce, with a number of Members of this Committee, H.R. 1624, the Puppy Protection Act.

Mr. Chairman, there are three areas that I wanted to talk to the Committee about today: animal welfare, conservation, and nutrition.

There is no question that the greatest economic and national security threat we face is our long-term debt and deficit.

The Puppy Protection Act will ensure dogs in these facilities have the best quality of life.

I urge my colleagues to continue to support these commonsense initiatives that will modernize our bureaucracy in an effort to support American families, and particularly America's youth.

I was personally horrified in our own example in our backyard to see violent extremist activity, specifically at the University of Pennsylvania.

Anybody who tries to engage in culture wars is going to lose.

Emergency departments' wait times have more than doubled since this law's passage in 2020.

However, the law has not been fully and correctly implemented in the way that this Congress has intended it to be.

The No Surprises Act was signed into law, as we all know, back on December 27, 2020 to protect patients against surprise medical billing.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania will be postponed. Amendment No. 33 Offered by Mr. Gosar The Acting CHAIR. It…

We have to bifurcate between the discretionary and the nondiscretionary.

And do you believe that this will undermine President Biden's Cancer Moonshot goal of reducing cancer death--the cancer death rate by half in 25 years?

To avoid this crisis, I believe we all must commit to working across the aisle to ensure that small molecules are afforded the same 13 years as biologics are.

This small molecule penalty, as it has come to be known, will have devastating impacts on the development of new cancer medicines and on other small-molecule drugs.

As co-chair of the Bipartisan Cancer Caucus in Congress and also having lost a brother to cancer, there is an issue of particular interest to me, which involves the impact that the Inflation Reduction Act will have on the development of…

I am glad we can agree on one thing: the tax code needs to be simplified.

I think the sooner off that we all start rejecting this false narrative that you have to choose between energy independence and environmental preservation, the better off we are going to be.
