I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 11, beginning on line 21, strike section 107. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 918, the…
I find myself confused by the comments of my distinguished friend from California. Nothing has changed in the law in 40 years. This law has been applied under Democratic and Republican Presidents and administrations. The law is very clear…
There is virtually nothing my friend from West Virginia said that I disagree with, except the idea that we are somehow taking money from fossil fuel research that is untoward. Just remember, this is a $30 million step up from last year and…
The President himself has still not acknowledged the death toll, which we now understand to be higher than those lost on 9/11. This is his Katrina.
I would suggest, though, as a member of this committee, that moving forward with this new proposal, if it's going to devastate U.S. manufacturing, if it's going to add way more than $8 billion to the electricity cost of our American…
Instead of listening to those in the universe of the world of energy grids and despite knowing what this would cost the American public, the Trump Administration is still moving ahead perhaps unfortunately likely because someone…
I led with 36 of my colleagues asking that Secretary Perry and the Trump Administration cease the false narrative that bailing out uneconomic energy sources in competitive markets is needed for electrical grid resilience.
This bailout plan does not actually help coal country. This is a short-term talking point that does nothing to create good-paying jobs, resilient jobs for the families in Appalachian.
the CX provisions in these bills have a major flaw, a logical flaw, that the 5-mile radius, when you do p R 2, it ends up being 78 square miles where BLM wouldn't have any opportunity to review critical areas and resources.
I have served in the Virginia senate for 8 years and noticed that virtually every business legislation we passed there was to restrict entry to the businesses we were already in.
``This is Carl Eggleston. There's always hope.'' So ends every voice-filled greeting on Carl's phone in the 36 years I have known him. No better few words describe the resilient, optimistic, and indefatigable man I love. I first met Carl…
You know, there have been lots of anxiety the last couple of elections--and not just 2016--2004, 2008 about the security of voting machines, and there's a move to online voting but only if it's secure.
I very much empathize with the problems of your company. I'm an automobile dealer, so counterfeit parts have plagued me for more than 4 decades.
I strongly believe, just based on this committee's interest, that America should take the lead on blockchain innovation research.
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title V, add the following: SEC. __. NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION HELICOPTER FLIGHT PATHS. (a) In…
With great respect to the chairman of the committee, the many conversations I have had with the general who runs the Washington Military District, with the Air Force and Army colonels, with the Marine major, and with many of the helicopter…
I consistently hear a great deal from my constituents about pervasive, intrusive helicopter noise. I have carefully listened to them for years, through community forums, townhalls, letters, emails, phone calls, and the like. I have also…
Being able to know and recognize space weather for what it is is absolutely critical from the point of view of our military preparedness.
It's clear the military gets space weather, and back in 1967 it was sort of a wake-up call.
Vigilance against espionage threats is important on all fronts from cybersecurity breaches to intelligence gathering by covert operatives on the ground.
Balancing legitimate security risks with international scientific cooperation is critical to ensure that we address real risks appropriately and thoroughly while not diminishing the benefits we have obtained by opening our doors to foreign…
On the one hand, the previous question, we want a--we keep hearing again and again that the National Science Foundation is able to award an ever-smaller percentage of its excellent proposals with money.
I want to thank all of you for being willing to come into a public forum on the Ides of March. You're very brave.
