Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Emmer), a valuable member of our Republican House leadership.

I thank the chair.

I did introduce a bill with Dr. Schrier of Washington State following the measles outbreak up there last year.

As lawmakers, we need to focus on cutting unnecessary Washington red tape and burdensome regulations.

I will just commit to you and anything in the future this committee can do to ensure that the security, National Nuclear Security Agency stays within the Department of Energy, I think, is critically important and I will make that…

Well, certainly that, in my opinion, was an oversight to leave the purchase of additional petroleum for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve out of the CARES Act.

I would also suggest that the Congress might want to consider perhaps upgrading some of the facility as well.

It is important that we don't limit ourselves to research and development in only one area of energy generation.

I think it would be in the nation's interest to acknowledge that threat publicly so that Americans are aware of it.

So, yes, we were due. So I am glad you organized it today.

I hope this isn't just a check-the-box hearing.
