I believe today's inquiry misses the forest for the trees.

I look forward to hearing from Assistant Secretary Daniel Simmons on the programs within EERE.

EERE is tasked as the lead Federal agency for clean energy research and development with programs in transportation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.

Local administrators have complained that communication with the rail operators has not been easy.

These blockages of the roadway occur at early morning, during the evening commute, and many times throughout the day.

Lengthy train delays occur on one of these two critical routes from Galveston Island.

I'm looking forward to hearing from our witnesses about DOE's management of its clean energy research, development, demonstration, as well as its commercialization activities.

With five ports in my district, railroads are a critical mode of transportation, with hundreds of train cars moving goods from all over the world to distribution points further inland, while also facilitating an explosion of exports to…

With so many of the taxpayers' dollars at stake, a blank check tied to a poorly defined list of priorities is just as wasteful as spending money on a failed project.

I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for her comments, and I yield to another gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz).

I thank the gentleman for his comments, and I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen).

I thank the gentlewoman for being here for tonight's Special Order, and I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Deutch).

I thank the gentleman for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, I now yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Trone).

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin).

I thank the gentleman for being here tonight. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Shalala).

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to my friends on both sides of the aisle for being here to express those sentiments. Mr. Speaker, President Roosevelt said that December 7, 1941, was a day that would live…

Because of Roe v. Wade, we are killing a baby a minute. Mr. Speaker, another baby just lost its life. ____________________

I take great pride in this responsibility, and I believe that one of the most important pieces, if not the most important piece, of our portfolio is the DOE Office of Science.

Thank you, ma'am. Dr. Fall, last week I was pleased to see that DOE announced the selection of Brookhaven National Laboratory as the site for the construction of the electron ion collider, an essential new nuclear physics research facility.

strong and strategic support for basic research in material science and computing through the Office of Science is absolutely critical.

I think we can all agree that there's one key weakness that they have in common, one that industry will never address.

I'm excited to hear about the critical work being performed at the Department of Energy, DOE's, Office of Science.

I feel strongly that these types of DOE national laboratory user facilities provide American industry and researchers with the tools they need to maintain our leadership in science, and develop new materials and technologies.

To meet this need, strong and strategic support for basic research in material science and computing through the Office of Science is absolutely critical.

I'm a little surprised, quite frankly, that this Congress this is the first hearing we've had held on this agency.
