But if not, we are prepared to work . . . with the Federal Maritime Commission to make sure we have fair agreements for shipping.

Press Release, "Rep. Schrier Sends Letter to Federal Maritime Commission About Increasing Uncertainty for Washington State Exporters".

If you find that current regulations do not adequately equip the Commission with enforcement capability, I am happy to work with my colleagues to pursue legislative language to grant you that authority.

Their hands are tied.

Sometimes, just pushing into investigating an issue is enough to make things happen.

U.S. pork producers need Congress and the administration to work together to quickly engage and address these shipping delays.

My biggest worry is that suddenly what seemed like a blip in exports and a temporary problem becomes, well, now China is going elsewhere for their apples and their cherries and their hay.

Washington's 8th Congressional District stretches across the Cascade Mountains and is home to some of the nation's largest agricultural producers and exporters, selling hay, apples, pears, and cherries around the world.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the economic health of my district is being directly threatened by the actions of the nine major ocean carriers.

I understand there is quite a bit of variability in the EIS conditions.

Having visited ORR's licensed ORR facilities in Texas last Congress and as a pediatrician, I really appreciate your concerted effort to act in the best interests of these children.

I am very grateful for the care that these licensed facilities continue to provide for these unaccompanied children.
