Thank you for sponsoring H.R.4996, the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021.

These hearings do make a difference in how the agencies respond to our needs.

Can we get some sort of a commitment from you to work with us on getting this advisory board reauthorized?

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us firsthand the interconnection between people, animals, their shared environment, and the devastation that global diseases can bring to food supply chains everywhere.

Avoid burdensome application requirements and ensure that eligibility criteria are defined broadly so as not to disadvantage producers of color, small-scale producers and the organizations that serve them due to scale or other operational…

Farmers are working hard to respond to company and consumer demands for more climate-friendly products, but they often are not rewarded in the market for the investments they make at the field level.

The reforms included in OSRA21 will help address longstanding, systemic supply chain and port disruption issues.

You know, as if you decide, I`m not going to work today, I don`t feel good. I don`t like the values that`s been withheld there. And then MSNBC sent law enforcement to your house and said, no, you`re going to come to the studio. We`re going…

I need to respond quickly. Senator Carper was talking about root causes. The root cause of the instability--the primary cause of the violence in Central America is Americans' insatiable demand for drugs. If you solve that problem, you…

We must stop what we`re seeing on January 6th, because if we don`t address not only those who were out there, but everyone who participated in planning and carrying out that insurrectionist, treasonous act.

The Constitution that we have fought for, the Constitution that we helped build around, the reality of that, America has never been about a supreme race, it has always been about the many.

What we`ve seen on January 6th was an insurrection. That insurrection was based on white supremacy.

Domestic terrorism in this country has always been based in white supremacy. Unfortunately, the prior administration allowed racism, division, and hatred to germinate in a way in which people felt more emboldened.

Not only are the signs hopeful, not only has this been a great hearing, but to the extent that we can continue those four major concepts of bipartisanship, search for truth, passion, and knowledge, I think the outlook is going to be better…

Congress works best when Members wade into areas that they understand and that they have taken the time to fully comprehend.

There has been a tremendous amount of bipartisanship. There is a legitimate search for policy solutions.

Well, I think this has been remarkable, and I just want to focus on three things quickly.

Food is a national security issue, and it is something that all Americans probably should pay more attention to than they do.

We must get the type of public policy in place to protect the rights of voters, from Georgia of Texas to Arizona back to Michigan.

If there is any barrier that Congress can remove to allow all of you to enact that extraordinary effort, please know that we stand ready to listen to your pleas and respond, because business as usual is simply not going to get this done.

What Mitch McConnell and the senators in the Republican Party is doing now is trying to impede and subvert democracy.

We have to break that filibuster because democracy is on trial.

Protecting voter rights is not a partisan issue. This is not about Democratic versus Republican. This is about protecting the Constitution, and the right to vote.

By showing you they`re not going to investigate what happened January 6th is saying they don`t care about our democracy because Donald Trump don`t want them to care about our democracy.

I urge this Committee to continue to examine these important issues and not leave cattlemen behind in discussions.
