Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing today. By now I think we all understand how important helium is to our 21st cent...

It's vital that we take steps to ensure a stable supply for the future.

Each year, wildfires in our nation's federal forests damage or destroy millions of acres across the United States.

We need to also ensure that we are not becoming dependent on foreign sources of helium.
