The horse industry contributes approximately $50 billion in direct economic impact to the United States economy.

Nothing is more synonymous with the commonwealth of Kentucky than Thoroughbred breeding and horseracing.

If Americans really understood the condition of our national forests, they would be outraged and they would be demanding more action.

I would like to raise the majority's decision to prevent Representative Andy Barr from providing an opening statement.

I appreciate the panel being here today to help us better understand H.R. 1754 and how it will impact your industry.

This is a tough issue and one that your industry is very passionate about.

Nothing is more synonymous with the Commonwealth of Kentucky than thoroughbred breeding and horseracing which includes the Horse Capital of the World.

I'd like to address the Majority's decision to prevent Representative Barr from providing an opening statement.

While a stated goal of this legislation is to provide certainty to U.S. companies to phase down the use of HFCs and to invest in next-generation coolants, I am concerned that this bill will just add to a growing patchwork of State laws…

We should get their input as to how we discuss how to handle dark patterns.

I believe we are at a similar inflection point today. We are losing faith in sources we can trust online.

We must ensure America will remain the global leader in AI development.

In Washington State, people have resoundingly rejected two separate carbon tax initiatives because a tax would put us at a competitive disadvantage.

Climate change is a global issue, not just an American issue. It requires a global solution centered around innovation.

Judging from the majority's memo, their proposals seem limited to policies that tax our economy and industrial sectors out of existence and destroy America's global competitiveness and leadership.

I would like to start by asking Ms. Wooden-Aguilar and Ms. Dorka to generally highlight some of the work EPA is doing through the Brownfields Program.

I represent more than 70,000 veterans. I am also proud to represent Fairchild Air Force Base...

My goal is to always see us rolling out the red carpet to our veterans...

Thank you to the panel for being here today, and a special thank you to the representatives from EPA for your work in helping communities across the country.

and also thank many of you, including Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers, for your leadership in such programs as PILT and SRS.
