We must prevent undue foreign influence in research if we are to keep our competitive edge and help maintain our national security.

what this bill does is create a foundation process to help foster those public/private partnerships with local universities

We have heard from our witnesses this morning about the numerous benefits that ferries provide to a variety of areas in the nation.

I look forward to this hearing from my administrator about his goals to advance NOAA's mission of science, service, and stewardship.

We do need encouragement from this Congress to encourage DOJ to take those actions.

This Committee is steadfast in supporting NOAA as the authoritative source for weather and climate information.

This Committee has worked in a bipartisan fashion to authorize R&D activities that help reduce our emissions and mitigate climate change.

The disturbing instances of air and airport passenger rage are well documented.

NOAA has an important role to play in addressing the climate crisis, and we are fortunate to have an experienced leader like this administrator to guide the agency.

These findings are deeply concerning to me, and I'm committed to working with my colleagues to ensure that NOAA's work force, and the rest of the Federal science enterprise, reflects the diversity of America.

Abandoning the ISS without a clear transition plan in place would only serve the interests of the Communist Chinese Party.

America's future depends on a 21st-century work force that can continue our science and innovation capabilities, including space.

While planning for a future beyond the Space Station is important, the reality is that the International Space Station is still operating.

I certainly hope that these activities, as well as other research, are NASA's priorities.

The enduring mission of peaceful space cooperation is more important now than ever.

Thank you, Chairman DeFazio, and Ranking Member Graves, for holding today's hearing on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

It's clear that NASA's infrastructure challenges need attention now if NASA is to continue to lead and succeed in achieving its inspiring and ambitious missions.

My commitment to addressing our R&D infrastructure needs is steadfast. Science, research, and innovation are our future.

The extreme temperatures since this June killed over 100 people in Oregon alone.

Being from Texas, my constituents and I expect to prepare for high summer temperatures.

I look forward to the discussion with today's esteemed panel on how we can better coordinate Federal resources to address the worsening extreme heat in the country.

The unequal exposure to extreme heat in urban heat islands can cause harm beyond just public health.

Extreme heat has always been linked to worse educational outcomes for children.

Being from Texas, my constituents and I can expect and prepare for high summer temperatures.

I believe that we're about to embark upon a deadly summer.
