I applaud my Republican colleagues for conducting this hearing because GAO reports highlight the reasons why we cannot and should not pass the GOP's budget bill this week.

The IRS needs to increase its capacity to implement new initiatives, improve ongoing enforcement in taxpayer service programs, and combat identity theft and refund fraud.

my colleagues on the right, through the debt ceiling fight that we are about to endure in 2 seconds, they have decided that they want to cut DEA funding by 22 percent.

Otherwise, working families across this country who are finally starting to see prices come down at the grocery store will be subject to increased costs as growers go into the planting season without certainty about what the farm bill will…

I hope this conversation shows how important it is that we reauthorize the farm bill.

Let me be clear.

As a Member of this Committee, I am proud to be able to support some of your agency's work through the farm bill.

We cannot rely on the same old recruitment strategies.

We need to pull out all the stops and ensure we are recruiting from as wide a net as possible.

I proudly represent Southwest Airlines. I also have Dallas Love Field. I also have Dallas Executive Airport.

That is why I urge the committee to authorize new funding to support HBCUs and HSIs that offer scholarships for students majoring in the aviation field.
