I will close with her final paragraph: ``Civic engagements are abundant in our community. From the local fireman's pancake breakfast to the city council meetings, civic activities are occurring all around us. It is the obligation of the…

When we get to voluntary conservation and partnerships, when it is not punitive, how many species actually have been de-listed as a result of that.

Top-down, heavy-handed, punitive approaches to endangered species has just failed, and it has failed since the beginning.

The authority provided by this legislation regarding furnishing telemedicine at any location in any State regardless of where in a State the covered health care professional or the patient is located removes a formidable barrier and is…

FRA supports the 'Veterans E-Health and Telemedicine Support Act' (H.R. 2123), sponsored by Rep. Glenn Thompson (PA)...

Thank you for inviting me to testify before the House Veterans Affairs Committee

Our veterans should receive the best care available to them and this starts with the passage of the VETS Act.

The issues before this Committee are critically important to ensure that those who have selflessly served our Nation receive the care and support that they rightfully deserve.

The AMA supports expanding veterans' access to clinically validated telehealth services within the VA.

I thank the gentlewoman for those comments. My point is, though, that this actually takes $32 million and puts it like a laser on an area where we know that environmental damage is well documented and we have very effective public-private…

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 28, line 8, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $32,491,000)''. Page 64, line 1, after the…

I made my arguments clear, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson). The amendment was agreed to. The Acting CHAIR. It is now in…

I am not sure. I appreciate the gentleman's opinion, but I don't see where Congress does not have input into a Federal highway, and that is what Interstate 80 is. It is approximately 311 miles. It is more than well-maintained. The cost of…

Specialty crop research depends on Federal funding. Without this dedicated funding, innovation in specialty crops will lag.

We strongly urge the Committee to at a minimum keep funding research at current levels.

If this was health care, it would be a malpractice suit, and we would resolve it.

I have to tell you my communities are not better off today, economically; they struggle.

I think that just calls for more aggressive active management, because the overstory and the understory are growing at rates where we are not harvesting anywhere close to--anywhere I know, within the National Forest System--the sustainable…

This hearing of the Subcommittee on Nutrition entitled, The Next Farm Bill: SNAP Technology and Modernization, will come to order.

As a Member of Congress that has over $442 million in AML liabilities in a state that has $5 billion in AML liabilities, we do take great pride in the fact that much of the mining that fueled both the Industrial Revolution and the…

It is essential to keep working to honor treaties with my tribe and my neighbor tribes in the western Lake Superior region and to provide funding to support pristine water and air, safe and sanitary housing and related infrastructure, and…

Our clinic relies heavily on third-party funding, and a decrease in Medicaid funding would only increase the financial burden on the healthcare system.

The Committee should take seriously the opportunity to strengthen forest conservation programs.

The Committee should strive to sustain or increase support for Conservation Innovation Grants (CIGs).

I would respectfully request full funding for the conservation programs in general, administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, consistent with the Farm Bill.
