I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 4824, and I yield back the balance of my time.

While my Republican colleagues continue to put the interest of large corporations and Big Oil first, Democratic policies are building clean energy infrastructure for the next generation.

I will continue to work to build, expand, and defend it.

Contrary to the claims by my Republican colleagues, in 2023, the United States set a new high for natural gas production.

I am very proud of my legislation, H.R. 3208, which has passed this committee.

Would you also encourage our friends and partners over in the Senate to take up the bill that was passed by the House and is currently there awaiting their consideration and action?

I wanted to follow your line of questioning very quickly, which is a very important line of questioning and that is to ensure that we get fixed, Mr. Secretary, what is broken.

I see no reason for the gentleman to be impeached.

We do know that Iran, for example, is a major proponent of terrorism.

It seems a simple proposition to me.

A politically-motivated impeachment was and will continue to be a stain on the record of this committee.

Are we prepared to be supportive in helping to defend our homeland?

The PRESS Act does help.

I take it very seriously.

I stand today in vehement opposition to H.R. 7023, the Creating Confidence in Clean Water Permitting Act. It is amusing that we are having an energy week conducted by a majority that uses all of its energy to fight against the interests…

Veterans in southern Nevada and throughout the country truly deserve the highest level of care.

Nevada military families continue to remain concerned about their access to quality healthcare.

I really appreciate your ability to look beyond the fence and to look at access to healthcare as a community issue.

I appreciate all your service and your presence here to discuss these quality of life issues.

It seems like a missed opportunity at two critical needs.

Ensuring access to reliable childcare has become a major challenge for our military members.

Access to affordable housing obviously remains a central stressor, especially for the junior enlisted in Nevada.

Speaking of women veterans, we have seen women account for 30 percent of the increase of veterans served in Nevada.

I am also concerned that with the new proposal, the reduction will cut too deep, most importantly impacting veterans in rural areas.

The sooner the better obviously.
