I want you to know that I am unapologetically pro-life, and I will always fight to make sure that there are protections for life under our laws here in the United States.
The bipartisan legislation, H.R. 3144, introduced by Mrs. McMorris Rodgers of Washington, looks to provide certainty and reliability to a hydropower system thrust into a state of legal purgatory.
H.R. 3916, the Federally Integrated Species Health Act--or FISH Act--introduced by Mr. Calvert of California, is the second bipartisan-supported bill.
Hydropower is a reliable and emissions-free source of electricity that accounts for a majority of the Nation's total renewable electricity generation.
Barack Obama summed up the need for this bill as well as any of us could here could.
Despite all the benefits it brings to the region, the Federal Columbia River Power System has been mired in third-party litigation, questionable judicial edicts and onerous Federal regulations for decades.
This bill would simply codify the current BiOp and reassert Congress' authority over the dams.
Dams and fish can co-exist, but we must get out of the courtroom and allow fish recovery to continue.
Without Grand Coulee and Bonneville dams it would have been almost impossible to win this war.
So the legislation H.R. 3394 provides funding for 3 years at, roughly, $157,000 per resident per year.
So building on that just a little bit, would you agree that the THCGME program is accomplishing the objectives Congress laid out when it was established?
Nurses play a vital role in our healthcare workforce, and this program is essential to the success of delivery of care.
My legislation, H.R. 3394, aims to not only reauthorize this critical workforce program, but expand it.
That is why it is so important that we reauthorize the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Program.
It is estimated that we could have a nationwide doctor shortage of 23,000 by 2025.
I heard from a concerned mom in my district, Gail Gleason, who told me a story about her son, Steve.
It's never appropriate to condon unwanted sexual advances or violence against women. Mr. Trump must realize it has no place in public or private conversation today or in the past.
Rate increases like these are being seen across the country and they are far from affordable.
thank you for holding this hearing on MTM and appreciate all the witnesses being here and providing your insights.
One of the committee's members, Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers, introduced legislation last Congress that would have made such changes.
In closing, Rite Aide would like to thank Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers, the committee for their leadership on this important issue.
we salute Representative McMorris Rodgers' past work on this issue and for introducing legislation similar to this act.
