I feel that the conversation that we are having right now by its literal very nature and its words is divisive and politicizing of the military.

I'm embarrassed by the tone and tenor of this conversation. It does not reflect the dignity of this body.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I would argue that we are in a stronger position now that we were before.

I would like Mr. Constable maybe to elevate that as being something as a best practice.

I take deep offense to the statement of the gentleman who would ever imply that I or my colleagues are not patriots.

It is really critical that our nation's youth and small business owners will be able to access the vital workforce development resources.

The benefits of youth apprenticeship and of CTE can't be underestimated especially amid our workforce issues.

I am an entrepreneur myself, and I am grateful for the opportunity to sit with you today.

I would love to have a follow-on conversation with you on that, because I'm certain I'm not alone...

I don't understand why, if a postal worker is touched just like a TSA worker is touched, that it's not a Federal crime.

I'm here at this hearing to try to get some answers on behalf of my constituents and my community who really depend on this very critical government service.

You are critically important to all of us.

Pregnancy is a medical condition which deserves the same right to privacy and autonomy over medical decisions as any other medical condition.

I was that one person who voted on the other side of the aisle that said that we shouldn't be able to pick where we are serving.

As a women entrepreneur myself, increasing opportunities for government contracting and business development for women-owned businesses is obviously particularly important to me.

My Women-Owned Small Business Program Transparency Act, or the WOSB Transparency Act, passed the house earlier this month with very strong bipartisan support.

If we make it so that we're lowering the accreditation standards or that there isn't accreditation, will it still be that desirable path?

FY22 will prove to be the most challenging year in recruiting history.

As we focus on China as a pacing challenge, we must ensure we are prepared for any actions necessary within the Pacific.

I do not believe that Russia's inability to easily dominate Ukraine will necessarily indicate to China that continuing their destabilization efforts is a bad idea.

To address these challenges, I have worked across the aisle with my colleague, Representative Balderson, to introduce the Research Advancing Market Production (RAMP) for Innovators Act.

I believe this Committee must have an eye for consistently improving the SBIR and STTR programs, particularly when it comes to commercialization.

We should not underestimate the Russian military. There are many, many of them. And they far outnumber, in terms of their resources, the Ukrainian people.

This is part of the history of this part of the world, that every generation or so, sadly, different autocrats and different dictators trounce over these people.
