That cannot happen. Republicans are offering alternatives to keep people safe and save lives.

We also must pass the HALT Fentanyl Act, led by Representatives Griffith and Latta, to permanently place fentanyl-related substances into schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

We have a real problem, America, and it does nothing for our constituents if we revert to the kind of politics that is pretending to care about a problem but really thinking about who we can pin the blame on in the next election.

It is putting Americans all across this county at risk, turning every town into a border town.

I've seen estimates that DEA thinks that they're able to catch about 5 to 10 percent of the fentanyl that's actually coming in to the United States of America.

Get Border Patrol back to what it's supposed to do, put the walls back up, secure some of that.

We're here today to look for answers to a border crisis that is driving the flow of fentanyl--illicit fentanyl--that is pouring into our communities.

Most heart wrenching is that fentanyl is an attack on the young generation. The number-one leading cause for death for Americans between ages 18 and 45 is fentanyl poisoning.

this is probably one of the safest communities I've ever been in, in the entire State of Texas.

I'm just stunned that there is so little discussion today... that is the case, and specifically with fentanyl.

President Biden has made the securing of our border impossible.

We have a mental health and addiction crisis in America, and that is making our communities less safe.

This bill requires the FCC to review its rules related to certain satellite services to develop recommendations.

Streamlining the Federal regulations to enable technology that helps put food on the table is why efforts like the Satellite and Telecommunications Streamlining Act are so important.

This could be in circumstances where the area is remote, where the area is experiencing certain outages caused by natural disasters.

This legislation would reform the Federal Communications Commission's process to grant satellite licenses.

We cannot let that happen.

We can't risk our satellite networks facing the same challenges as our other communications networks here and globally.

I would just say, from a principal perspective, you've got to find the right balance between protecting investment and encouraging new investment.

This bill would enhance the ability of entities to launch rockets from the U.S. by streamlining the FCC's process.

We are also reviewing Ranking Member Pallone's Secure Space Act, a bill that I'm proud to colead.

I thank Ranking Member Pallone for working with me on this legislation.

The timing could not be more urgent.

Today we will discuss solutions to unleash innovation in the satellite communications marketplace.

Failure to do so risks our Nation falling behind our counterparts across the globe, including China.
