TikTok's access to 170 million American users makes it a valuable propaganda tool for the CCP to exploit and use for nefarious purposes.

This bill sets forth a process to incentivize the divesture of TikTok and other applications from the operation and control of foreign adversary governments.

I firmly believe that we must do what we can now to safeguard Americans' personal data while we work to advance privacy legislation.

I am appreciative of Ranking Member Pallone bringing this legislation forward so that we may establish clear prohibitions on the sale of location and health information to our adversaries.

This is a targeted approach to prohibit access to an application owned by a foreign adversary that poses a clear threat to U.S. national security.

TikTok has repeatedly been caught lying about its connection to ByteDance as well as the level of access the CCP has to our data.

Protecting Americans' data and addressing the serious national security threat posed by the CCP have been my top priorities all Congress.

The Chinese Communist Party pose the greatest national security threat to the United States of our time.

The Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act is crucial for our national security.

Sometimes I like to refer to the dams as the largest natural battery out there.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you again for bringing the field hearing to eastern Washington, and to all who have testified.

Governor Newsom begged residents to stop using their air conditioning and don't charge your electric battery vehicles.

Without them, we are in big trouble.

Today is about facts. The Lower Snake River dams have the capacity to generate 3,000 megawatts of reliable, clean electricity.

Why is the Biden administration purposely ignoring the fact that based on existing science, even if the Snake River dams were gone, the benefits of salmon runs in the Snake River would be barely measurable?

Congressman Mike Simpson... has said that although he supports dam removal, such removal should not happen until replacement power... has been built and is on-line.

Is the Biden administration, through its Council on Environmental Quality, NOAA, Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation, and BPA using 'mediation'... as a means of avoiding congressional oversight?

Why is the Biden administration failing to aggressively act to protect the billions upon billions of taxpayer, ratepayer, and business dollars in building, improving, and operating the four Lower Snake River dams?

This rule is completely a mandate by the Federal Government to tell Americans what they think is best.

It is an agenda that benefits China.

Let's get focused on improving mobility, mobility choices. Let's get focused on American technology and innovation.

Since the invention of the Ford Model T, America has led the world in car manufacturing and technology.

There is a lot on the agenda today.

We must have transparency, and we must be assured that these taxpayer dollars are not being funneled to the Chinese.
