We need to hold some people accountable, but in the interim, we also need to make sure there was at least a -- you know, when the fire is burning, you got to report it to the firemen, and you’ve got to then pulse the whole network to make…

I just hope, Ambassador Tai, that you can say that, around digital trade efforts, we ought to try to work to be more in concert with allies like Australia.

A great short answer. You got me done even within my 5-minute time period.

I spent a whole career in venture capital and valuing American intellectual property. I think it is a very close call, what the administration has done.

I think that taking a once-in-a-century action on a once-in-a-century pandemic is not an indication of some retreat of protecting intellectual property rights in this country.

I think the humanitarian crisis in India requires extraordinary actions.

The Trade Advisory Committee system and the expertise its members bring are an important component of creating good trade policy.

Next week, Senator Cornyn and I and a number of others will be introducing a bipartisan amendment to the Endless Frontier Act to commit $50 billion to both advance where America is ahead on semiconductors.

The economic potential of offshore wind is truly dramatic.

that is why I think, again, my Republican colleagues, this is an area where I think there was agreement that we need a faster regulatory review and approval process.

Well, as we get into that, one of the things that we need to guarantee is that there is going to be that domestic demand.

We can do better than that.

It is obviously my distinct pleasure and honor to introduce formally a fellow Virginian, an outstanding public servant, to serve as President Biden's Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, Dr. Jewel Bronaugh.

Many of us on this committee are working in a bipartisan way to make a substantial investment in the semiconductor industry.

I believe the Chinese model, which I call kind of authoritarian capitalism, is where they allow dramatic domestic competition in emerging technologies.

I think America went to sleep. We went for 50 years assuming for almost every technological innovation, even if we did not invent it in America, that we would set the standards, the protocol, the procedures.
