On the recordJuly 13, 2017

As we noted in our committee markup, there would be nothing controversial about studying this threat and being prepared to mitigate the risks. In fact, that is our responsibility. The support for this climate resiliency language was truly bipartisan in committee, and I hope we will send a strong message of support to the servicemen and -women who will have to lead with the effects of climate change by opposing this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
