President Trump has taken action, decisive action, to protect Americans and to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

While I know that border security has not been in the news as much recently, it is still so critical that we secure our border.

Thank you, Secretary Wolf, for appearing here today, and for your testimony and the work that you and your Department do for us at securing our border.

We need to secure the border at the border, and that includes the drugs coming across.

Soleimani was a terrorist who had the blood of hundreds of American soldiers on his hands.

Thank you, Chairwoman Finkenauer, and thank you for holding this hearing and for holding the hearing last month in Gettysburg in my district.

The number one issue in south central Pennsylvania that I ran on was health care.

Having reliable and affordable high-speed Internet connection can make all the difference.

Thank you, Chairwoman Finkenauer. Good afternoon, and thank all of you for being with us today in historic Gettysburg.

Small businesses are the backbone to American industry.

Thank you for addressing such an important issue, within hours of us coming back to Washington, addressing preparation for growing the energy economy.

I am impressed by the entrepreneurial spirit of the 2,741 new and beginning farmers in my District, but we need to see that number grow.

Communities in my district and across the country rely on our nation's 2.2 million farms.

Today, our subcommittee will examine the difficulties affecting America's new and beginning farmers.

I, too, have a child with autism, and I realize what you have done by providing palliative protein to children who have sensory issues when eating.

Pennsylvania is not Iowa, and Iowa is not Pennsylvania. And yet, this is one of the strongest, bipartisan Committees you can find in the United States Capitol.

In the small business world, and I come from that small business world, one size does clearly not fit all.

Today, we reinforce our commitment to seeing that SBA fulfills its goals relating to this program and maximizes every dollar to help small businesses reach their significant potential on the international market.

I was shocked by what was discussed.

Sadly, this has not been the case at all since January when I was sworn in.
