It has never been more evident to me and I think to all of us about this critical committee's responsibility and that the work that we do here is so essential, that we cannot simply afford to be partisan at this time.

I want to commend you for the actions that you have done to design a force that is more suitable to deter China.

Right now, we are facing an international health crisis that is threatening the economic stability and more importantly the lives of so many people around the world.

I believe it is long past time to make the Trust Fund work for all ports.

I support of full utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund.

We request that you include language authorizing full funding for the Delaware River Basin Commission.

I was a very vocal opponent, joining with other members of our Pennsylvania delegation asking Sikorsky to reverse that decision.

We need increasingly more and more tech talent in the military as well.

I helped found the Service Women and Women Veterans Caucus and we are about 50-some strong right now.

Creating more opportunities for women, minority, and veteran-owned small businesses will be a priority of yours.

I stand here in strong support of Ms. Scanlon's amendment to H.R. 3 and in strong support of H.R. 3, as well. I can say, as a freshman Member of this delegation and this Congress, the number one thing that all of our constituents ask of us…

What responsibility do you all have and do you all plan for with your for-profit businesses to make sure that those children and those families are being taken care of?

I really worry for the children who are exposed to lead and who are exposed to mold.

For businesses to act in a responsible way towards their employees, suppliers, communities, and environments is not only the right thing to do but it is good business as well.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

You have 'obsessive' reviews and discussions about this situation.

To a person, when we met with people...many people responded with the incursion of Turks--Turkey into Syria.

Any foreign adversary who interferes in our democracy must be held accountable, regardless of when it happened.

Bipartisanship is what serves the American people best, and reaching across the aisle allows us to pass legislation.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 117, line 8, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $1,000,000) (reduced by $1,000,000)''…

So it was a great collaboration with the local school there.

A woman's right to education, to her bodily autonomy, to self-determination, they are all connected.

I do believe that it is a real question for what the message is that we are sending to the world.

Access to quality education is one of the strongest tools that we have for combating the epidemic of childhood marriage.

I urge the other members of this committee to support this very important legislation that will bolster and affirm the good work of the United Nations to end child marriage.
