However, the most concerning part of this hearing is that the Arizona bill, H.R. 1373, continues the Committee's troubling trend of taking up legislation introduced in another Member's district without consultation or support from that…

Am I correct in assuming that you and your peers are opposed to this bill, not because you don't care about Chaco culture or the land that your family has been on for decades, but because of your rights as a private landowner?

I think it is very important that the residents of that town feel listened to.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Mr. Ranking Member. Secretary, congratulations on your confirmation.

Utahns believe in being good stewards of our planet, leaving the Earth better than we found it. When I served as the mayor of Provo, we pursued policies to construct LEAD-certified buildings, create more environmentally friendly transit…

Without a level playing field and accountability from high-emissions countries like China, the United States' efforts to reduce emissions will have little if any effect on the planet overall.

I would like to remind everybody that the intent of this bill is to measure performance.

I was unavoidably detained at the White House for a bill signing with President Trump. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 121. ____________________

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 115. Amendment No. 70 Offered by Mr. Neguse The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado…

Regardless of the outcome of the summit, I for one will continue to urge the administration to use every possible economic and diplomatic solution to find answers and bring us forward.

I am hopeful that we see a productive summit. I, for one, view it as historic and important to be taking these steps.

I regret the stereotypes that are often formed around this issue. Somehow all Republicans hate the environment and all Democrats are alarmist.

It is the right thing to do.

I regret that, because of the anger in that area, nobody realized that my bill did more to protect the land than President Obama's designation.

If any of you have been to Utah, you will understand why I believe Utahans have it in their DNA to be good stewards of this earth.

All too often this issue has been used as a vehicle to push a radically progressive agenda that would prove to be devastating for American families, and would offer minimal, at best, climate results.

I believe, personally, having been a former mayor, that if you want to reduce it by 2 degrees, mayors know how to solve this.

Are we changing our light bulbs? Are we not using plastic bags, and all of those things?

The time has come for the U.S. to reconsider our support of this disastrous war and to consider the moral imperatives that form the foundation of our values and strategic interests.

I am pleased to introduce the Transparency in Student Lending Act. College education can be a life-changing investment, but it can come at a tremendous cost. Right now, 44 million Americans collectively hold $1.5 trillion in student loan…

I thank Ranking Member Chabot. I rise in support of H.R. 246, the Stimulating Innovation through Procurement Act of 2019. I am pleased to lead as an original coauthor and thank Ms. Finkenauer for her collaboration and effort on this…

Despite the amazing work that we do, the over $8 billion of investment that we make there, that sometime China comes in and negates all of that.

I would, like many of my colleagues, like to emphasize two themes that we have heard throughout these hearings.

We felt that the mechanism was totally wrong because it was infringing on freedom of religion.

As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I have closely followed the recent developments in the war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels in Yemen. This is one of the world's deadliest wars. Air strikes and other acts of…
