It is disappointing, I think, that my colleagues across the aisle are so eager to overturn anything the Biden administration does that they do it before they even see it.

There are a number of Members who have come to express their gratitude to Congressman Cicilline. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the Speaker Emerita.

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Rhode Island has 33 minutes remaining.

The CCP routinely uses espionage and cyber exploitation to steal American intellectual property, trade secrets, and even defense information.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA play an absolutely essential role in protecting our natural environment, protecting species, and supporting American industry and small business.

Less water means less food, means higher prices, means more kids going hungry in my district and in districts across the country.

The CCP has aggressively pursued unfair economic practices like currency devaluation, the use of weak and inhumane labor standards, and in particular intellectual property theft.

The threat emanating from China is from the CCP as they have become more aggressive in trying to undermine U.S. interests.

I thank you, and it is very important that we fund you so that you have the ability to do this important work.

It is indisputable that the Chinese Communist Party is the United States' greatest competitor on the world stage.

When I am back home in Rhode Island, one of the top issues that I hear about from my constituents is the price of food, which is too high for working people.

We must continue to fight for common-sense gun safety laws so that neighborhoods are safe from gun violence and police officers are never outgunned.

I would argue that that speaks to the need for a Federal approach when it comes to gun safety legislation and not just a patchwork approach as we have had since the expiration of the assault weapons ban.

States like mine that have passed common-sense gun safety laws like background checks, red-flag laws, and ghost gun and high-capacity magazine bans generally see lower levels of gun violence and officers killed on duty than States with…

I find it disturbing that some of our colleagues have taken to calling for Federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI and the ATF to be defunded.

This emphasis on community policing, which you are right, Boston has been doing for decades, is a lesson well-learned.

To our law enforcement witnesses, thank you for your selfless service.

In the last several years, 504 police officers were killed on duty in the United States, and of those, 456 officers were fatally shot with a gun.

Americans are counting on us to pass real, comprehensive immigration reform. The bill being put forward by our Republicans colleagues is a cruel and counterproductive measure that will only make our immigration problems worse by…

As fiduciaries, we would not be doing our jobs if we did not consider environmental and social and governance risks when making investment decisions.

Companies that do not manage their environmental risk, their labor risk, their consumer protection risks appropriately open up investors, including retail investors, pensioners, retirees to financial losses.

This is a taxpayer-funded effort to run interference for the oil and gas industries, prevent investors from doing their jobs.

the message that I want to deliver, because people need to understand it, is that these attacks against ESG investing are based on a fallacy.

Paramilitary groups, like the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and the Three Percenters, wrap themselves in the flag, but they are not patriots.

The January 6 rioters are not political prisoners, they are criminals who attacked police officers.
