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

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 446, line 11, after ``understanding of'' insert ``the connections between fire weather and modes of…

I thank my colleague, Representative Manning, for introducing this very straightforward bill. This bill affirms current law to ensure that women can determine the course of their lives and decide if, when, and under what circumstances to…

I am so glad that my amendment to fund the Research Facilities Act was included in this government spending package. We need to address our deferred research maintenance backlog and increase investments in next-generation agriculture…

This new post-Roe reality that we are living with is still sinking in for most of us, but if you are a woman who is pregnant now and needs to end that pregnancy, and you are in one of the States that has outlawed abortion, every day is…

I will tell you, my constituents are up in arms. They are emailing me, and they are calling my office outraged that the freedoms that they have had for 50 years are being stripped away from women in one-half of the States in this country…

I express my support for H.R. 7666, the Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act of 2022. In over 20 years as a pediatrician, I saw steadily escalating levels of mental illness in my patients. There was a big uptick after 2007…

I thank the chairman for the opportunity to speak on this important bill, the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act. American families are struggling. They are continuing to see rising gas prices even as oil and gas companies are making record…

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.

I thank Representative Newhouse, my friend, for gathering us together here to honor law enforcement and to mourn several recently fallen police officers. Whenever a police officers is killed in the line of duty it is a tragedy, for the…

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.

We want to build on increasing engagement of American farmers on climate change issues in a lead up to the reauthorization of the farm bill.
