We are so fortunate that no lives were lost.

Texas is also one of the States most vulnerable to tornadoes.

That's why we must strengthen our investment in the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy...

I look forward to hearing from our expert witnesses today about how this important technology works...

That is why I am so glad that we are here today to talk about carbon capture research and development.

Unfortunately, there is a well-funded, disinformation campaign targeting the public and weakening public health laws.

Timely forecasts, watches, and warnings from the National Weather Service were instrumental to keeping Texans safe during this tornado outbreak.

Accurate weather forecasts save lives and protect property.

I cannot overstate the importance of improving U.S. modeling and prediction capabilities.

Unfortunately, there is a well-funded disinformation campaign targeting the public and weakening public health laws.

There is no such thing as healthy skepticism when it comes to vaccines.

As the first nurse elected to Congress, I have been dedicated to the improvement of public health my entire career.

Mercury is a neurotoxin. Even at low levels, mercury can have an adverse health effect, particularly on women of childbearing age and on developing fetuses.

Madam Chairwoman, it is with great interest that I attend and participate in today's hearing on concepts for the next Water Resources Development Act: promoting resiliency of our nation's water resources infrastructure.

We have only begun to touch the surface of what these technologies can do, and the DOE and our National labs, universities, and industry partners possess the expertise to explore them to their fullest potential.

Good afternoon and thank you, Chairman Lamb, for holding this timely hearing on two very important renewable energy resources, water and geothermal power.

The time for high speed rail in the United States is long overdue.

We do need to understand the factors that made Apollo and other major space flight programs successful.

We have serious concerns about the EPA's proposal and what it means for our patients and the health of Americans, especially children and the elderly, who are especially susceptible to pollution.

Ignoring medical research in regulatory decisionmaking is the opposite of progress, and it's not in the interest of human health.

I am very worried that EPA is ignoring its mission to protect human health and the environment in an effort to make it easier for regulated industry.

I believe this is part of an effort to destroy regulations that protect public health but are opposed by some regulated industries.

No one in this room is against the principles of transparency in science or in our government.

I believe that my friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle want a human exploration program for America that is bold and visionary.

An arbitrary deadline that is uninformed by technical and programmatical realities... sets NASA up to fail.
