Joe Cunningham: “I think the gentleman's crossroads program is one of the most important programs we are working on in Congress.”

This is a very important issue that doesn't just affect Colorado or the western United States, it affects all of us.

I support Land and Water Conservation Fund, but I do not support it unless it is paired with coastal impact assistance.

Do you think the Interior Department should incorporate the risk of climate change into decisions about whether to open new regions like the South Atlantic to offshore oil and gas development?

I ask that this committee continue to support the Coast Guard by ensuring they have the resources they need to save lives.
