It's critical that we pursue all avenues to alleviate the supply chain crisis and get goods moving again.

the bipartisan Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 introduced by Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) and Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD).

I have heard from you that we have 80,000 drivers short of where we need to be right now.

It is very short-sighted of Mexico. We are all not--it--global climate change--it is a global climate change, not a U.S. climate change.

We will increase yields, we will reduce our carbon footprint, we will improve animal welfare, and, again, we are only going to do these things by embracing ingenuity, progress, and innovation.

I suspect all of our panelists know that Mexico recently published a decree announcing their intention to phase out a number of different important agricultural technologies.

There is a moral and a technological issue that is facing this Committee and society, how are we going to feed a growing world at the same time that we work to be good stewards of our environment?

last week, I came to the floor in support of Senator Scott's bill pushing back on what many of us consider the unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandates. I used my floor time to describe the lack of transparency of our healthcare Agencies by…

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

TIA members have felt the pressure of delayed port times, container shortages, overbearing demurrage and detention charges.

I rise in support of Senator Scott's bill. I want to make a few different points. First of all, I don't believe this administration or people who support the mandates are really thinking the process through as to how devastating these…

October 11 is, in South Dakota, Native American Day. Now, when America turns its eyes to Indian reservations, so often-- too often--the focus is on poverty, despair, dysfunction. But there are wonderful stories from Indian Country as well…

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

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

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.

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.

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…

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…

in quick response, the prior administration's--what the good Senator claimed a ``boondoggle'' worked. During this comprehensive review by this administration--again, this administration is the root cause of this problem; they caused…

I rise to speak to my amendment that is completely germane to the discussion of infrastructure. I can't think of more important infrastructure that would actually secure our homeland from a variety of threats. But as I have always said…

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…

I need to respond quickly. The PRESIDING OFFICER. There are now 2 minutes equally divided before a vote on the Johnson amendment. The Senator from Wisconsin.

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.
