I met a lot of the young people in the Corps. They are good people. They build bridges. They build roads in our national forests. Now, to task them with stopping storms and stopping hurricanes, that is preposterous. They do active work. To…

My amendment would prohibit funding for policies that advance the Biden administration's radical DEI agenda, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Specifically, my amendment would prohibit the use of funds for the Department of Energy's Office…

I wish during a lot of the hearings I have been to and the advocates for us humans controlling the climate and those like Al Gore who says, ``the oceans are boiling''--he literally said that--it fits right in line with this radical agenda…

My amendment is similar to the others that I have proposed. It prohibits funding for the American Climate Corps that the Biden administration recently established through an executive order. Thank God it is not binding after his…

This is similar to the other amendments we have been talking about. This particular amendment, 49, prohibits the use of funds for the consideration of the social cost of greenhouse gases in the development and implementation of budgets…

I think my good friends on the left don't realize the cost of DEI is borne by the businesses in this country now more than ever when they are paying double and triple for gas and have supply chain shortages, interest rates at a 40-year…

I am glad the gentlewoman mentioned forest fires. If you talk to any forester, this is something we could have a direct impact on. Do you know how much thatch is causing a lot of these fires? Thatch, in a lot of cases, is this high, and…

To my friends on the other side of the aisle, I agree with you. The people that joined the corps, they are well-meaning people. They work. They build trails, as you mentioned. They fix houses up. Their motives are pure, or they wouldn't do…

This is my amendment, which is similar to what we talked about before on the DEI lunacy. My amendment would prohibit funds from being used by the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases. The interagency working…

My amendment cuts the salary of the Secretary of the Department of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, to $1. The job that she has done is far below standard by any measure. She testified and promoted a company in Greenville--my State, not in my…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 32, line 2, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $470,000,000)''. Page 32, line 3, after the…

What my amendment does is it eliminates funding to the tune of $470 million for ARPA-E, Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy; $470 million. What this Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy is designed to fund are high-risk…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina will be postponed. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair understands that amendment No…

This amendment reduces the salary of Kimberly O'Connor, executive secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, to $1. Her role is executive secretary of DHS where she oversees the management of written communication intended for and…

Again, like the other amendment I have, I cannot believe we are sitting here debating this. What my amendment does is prohibits provisions of gender transition procedures, including surgery or medication, through the Exceptional Family…

Let me tell you the dollar amount spent for the past 5 years--$15 million. That is $15 million for surgery for a man who can't decide whether he is a man, or a girl who can't decide whether she is a girl. Imagine that. You tell those…
