Could you speak to the FTC's efforts on engaging on that issue with industry initiatives, like the Robocall Traceback Group?

I appreciate all the work that 3M has done throughout the pandemic to increase its production of PPE.

Mr. Kaufman, following the enactment of the TRACE Act in December 2019, the FTC's seen a drop in robocall complaints.

I just think that that is an issue that really should not be a part of this conversation, given the vast amount of Federal land that the Federal Government already owns and operates and manages.

I think the question is, should our landowners out there be worried about the Federal Government acquiring more land?

The China that joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 was a very different country than it is today.

We have had the lowest overall unemployment rate in more than 50 years.

If you provide incentives, the right incentives, people invest and you get growth in the economy.

The best way to address income inequality is to get growth in the economy.

I think it is time for some reforms and Senator Schatz and I would love to get this scheduled and voted on, Madam Chair.

I have heard similar feedback from child nutrition directors in South Dakota who are concerned that further regulation will create additional meal procurement challenges.

As a candidate, President Biden proposed an additional 10-percent offshoring penalty surtax when U.S. companies buy from an affiliate outside the United States, effectively what would be a broad tariff.

The truth is that tax bills went down for most families across this country--and businesses.

I understand the purpose of such a provision would be to discourage offshoring. But as it has been described, it would have a far more expansive and severe effect.

I certainly hope there are enough wise and thoughtful Democrats who understand that doing away with the legislative filibuster would create a nuclear winter in the United States Senate.

I worked for less than the minimum wage. I work for the minimum wage. I started busing tables at $1 an hour, and then I finally made it to cook, which was big time. That was six bucks an hour.

Tax reform cut taxes for families, doubled the Child Tax Credit, and nearly doubled the standard deduction.

Tax reform also improved the business environment for U.S. manufacturers.

Thanks for holding the hearing to discuss the role producers play in environmental stewardship, conserving our resources, and sequestering carbon, all while continuing to feed a growing population.

We can be way more efficient and there is a lot of spectrum out there that are currently in the hands of Government agencies.

Responsible and effective spectrum management between NTIA and the FCC has enormous consequences for the United States' ability to compete with China.

The minimum wage is something that is particularly troubling and harmful at a time when you`re trying to get people back to work.

Our farmers and ranchers depend on open markets and reliable trading relationships around the world.

I think the American people deserve to know where their beef is coming from.

I know you heard about 340B a few times yesterday, so I will try to keep this quick. But to me, the key to 340B is that it enables hospitals and covered entities to provide community benefits that otherwise may not be available.
