And I know that every one of us--and we have heard them today--every one of us has stories just like this from our own districts.

I think those are great points, and I will tell you, even as a pediatrician, it is challenging to have these conversations...

In conclusion, for 5 years now, FRS scheduling has been Federal policy, albeit temporary. I can't be more pleased about that and the big impact my small idea has had.

Our kids are dying because they have ingested a lethal dose of toxic opioids, not because Narcan isn't potent enough.

We are laser focused on the cartels that are pushing this drug into our country.

This is a nuanced question. And this--these are questions that should be left between doctors and patients and that the government really has no role making such a personal decision.

I would like to take a moment to honor some tremendous young athletes. The Eighth District had not one but two teams representing our State at the Little League World Series. The Issaquah All-Stars represented the northwest region at the…

I am thrilled to have worked with so many of my Republican colleagues on these bills to prevent wildfires. I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes,'' and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the…

I would like to clarify that we already have provisions in place to prevent wildfires, to remove underbrush, and to thin our forests and make they are more resilient. The thing is that the earlier we can detect wildfires with appropriate…

May I inquire how much time remains. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman has 1\3/4\ minute remaining.

Prices don`t have to be this high. You all can make decisions today that will help our constituents tomorrow.

I thank Representative Brown for her remarks and her partnership on this issue.

I want to ask for your support to fund agricultural research infrastructure.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my priorities and concerns as a representative of Washington State's 8th Congressional District.

We have failed our students. We failed our teachers by not acting to reduce gun violence in this country.

If we want to better improve our food supply chains and create local food systems that better serve both producers and consumers, it is essential to increase our processing capacity and access to that.

Not for the first time on this Committee I want to discuss access to slaughter and processing for small- and medium-sized producers, which is a top concern for ranchers in my district.

It feels like gouging. It even feels like profiteering.

Excellent. Well, thank you, Chairwoman Pingree and Ranking Member Joyce, and it is great to see you, Mr. Griffith.

I am delighted that today we will be voting to pass the Affordable Insulin Now Act. This is personal for me. I have type 1 diabetes and insulin keeps me alive. This tiny 2 teaspoon bottle that used to cost $40 now retails for over $300…

I want to highlight a community project funding request for my district.

This investment will reposition the United States for long-term success, competitiveness, and leadership in global ag and food research.

Last, I have very little time, but I just wanted to touch on a piece of legislation I am working on to modernize the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education, or the SARE Program.

So, this program is particularly well-suited for small- and medium-sized farms, as well as first-time, low-income minority farmers because you don't have to enter a carbon market to be compensated for doing the right practices.

We would love to have you join our conversation, to come meet with our group, and give us some direction on how we can recognize, celebrate, amplify the contributions of our farmers who engage in climate friendly practices.
