I am concerned, though, anytime I think we're talking about important science like this, if we're leaving it whether countries to kind of come in and fill the void, as an American taxpayer, that would concern me.

history supports that the role of the Federal Government is essential and that it has helped distinguish us from our peer competitors in the past and will do so again if we do it right.

The transition to convincing young people that there are other post-high school options besides an immediate 4-year degree.

I echo the comments of my colleague from Massachusetts, Mr. Moulton. On December 9, the United States lost a great hero. Peter Frates once crushed a home run into the bullpen at Fenway in Boston's Beanpot Championship for his BC Eagles…

Who is being held accountable for the fact that pilots were not told about MCAS and that, in fact, the references to MCAS were removed from the manual?

Unfortunately, the U.S. now relies on the importation of 100 percent of 14 of these materials and importing a partial supply of many more.

Many of the energy technologies that we're all used to that enable our modern life, including clean energy technologies, are underpinned by a host of these critical materials.

I want to reiterate something I said in the last panel, which is that nobody on this committee on either side needs to be lectured about the urgency of this situation.

It is often a conservative principal to shift decisionmaking down to the lowest level.

What is going on in Pittsburgh is a model for the country. It is a model for veterans.

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 27, line 3, strike ``and''. Page 27, line 13, strike the 1st period, the close quotation marks and the…

I thank the gentleman for his words, and again, I would commend the chairwoman for including all energy sources and technology in this bill. I think our debate going forward will be more honest and accurate when we have a score of how many…

I thank Madam Chairwoman for her work on the underlying bill. Mr. Chairman, I am offering this amendment because one of the most pressing problems in my district in western Pennsylvania and in America as a whole has been the massive…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I am proud to stand up in support of the SHIELD Act, which incorporates my bill, H.R. 4703, The DEFEND Act. The DEFEND Act, as incorporated here, would forbid paid internet activity by foreign actors…

I begin by thanking Chairman Takano and Ranking Member Roe for their support getting this bill through committee, and my Republican colleague, Brian Fitzpatrick, for cosponsoring it with me. I rise tonight in support of H.R. 2385. Mr…

I place a lot of the blame for that at the national level and our inability to work together on an infrastructure package that actually meets the challenges of the modern day.

Making our transportation sector more sustainable is an enormously challenging and complex problem.

We need to be smarter about our investments in technologies that can help reduce emissions from this sector.

It's clear that all of this stuff is vital to everyday life, but we have to be smarter about it.

It's also crucial that we, as leaders, support jobs and industries at the same time, and I think we can do that.

I want to be clear that I support DOE funding for innovative research in transportation technologies.

There is just absolutely no excuse for any veteran, man or woman, feeling that when they leave the service the VA services are not for them.

I think it is a little hard for veterans in particular to understand how we are going to spend $5 billion over 10 years on a legacy system that we are trying to replace when the cost of the new system is $10 billion.

I hope we're able to work together in a bipartisan way to develop and advance these bills to ensure our grid remains reliable, resilient, and secure.

It wouldn't be the first time that electricity was powered by a lot of hot air from Texas.
