That is why I have introduced with Rep. Gonzalez-Colon the bipartisan Pay Our Coast Guard Parity Act, to ensure Coasties are treated the same as other members of the DoD.

I look forward to strengthening this Federal partnership and making sure that when we put these dollars to use in communities that they are doing exactly what they intended.

It is time. You said the word 'embarrassment.' I mean, Phoenix is the fifth most populous city in the United States of America and it does not have access to intercity rail service.

I know how critical it is to ensure that local, State, and Federal governments all work together.

My home State of Washington has been a long-time supporter and investor in intercity passenger rail.

The United States has a long and proud tradition of offering immigrants a path to citizenship through military service.

I will remind my colleagues that these protections are meant to prevent environmental disasters. We see all across the country radioactive water spills, water crises, chemical pollutants seeping into groundwater and poisoning communities…

I am very honored that the 117th did pass this.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is indeed working.

Building in America, having my hometown, my friends and neighbors build things, is not only important for our progress, our economy, our hope, our future, it is a big deal.

In my home State of Washington, the State has already committed over $152 million in Federal funds for highway and bridge projects.

This Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is incredibly important to our State, our economy, and our safety.

What is the one thing that the administration could do to move the Buy America, Build America process along?

Thank you, Chairman Webster. Thank you, Rear Admiral Phillips. And thank you, Mr. Maffei, for your incredible testimony today and answering our questions.

Congresswoman Scholten, thank you for that question. As you have pointed out, there are things that it will take companies some time to move forward with.

I thank the chairman for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, I have the honor of representing Joint Base Lewis- McChord, the largest military base on the West Coast, and tens of thousands of servicemembers and their families who call the South…

I stand before you to talk about two topics: The confirmation of Judge Jackson, as well as the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. Judge Jackson is more qualified than the people with whom she will serve, and she is not soft on crime. It is…

This week is one to celebrate. After almost a year of bipartisan, bicameral negotiations, the House will finally take up legislation to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and move us one step closer to getting much-needed relief…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership in holding this Special Order on such an important issue. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize our law enforcement officers across Washington State and to honor those killed in…

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H.R. 6181. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Manning). The gentlewoman's request is accepted. ____________________

It is why I led a letter to the Defense Approps [Appropriations] Committee urging Congress to raise base pay for service members.

Service members and their families make sacrifices every day, and we must do everything to ensure that their experience while they are serving is a good one.

I was particularly troubled to note that on the same day Navy affirmed to their families that the water was safe to drink that Navy closed the Red Hill drinking well.

Today, the Supreme Court is hearing one of the most important abortion rights cases in generations. The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, marks the first time in 50 years the Court agreed to hear a case on the…

And, Mr. Chairman, I want to thank you for your leadership in holding this important hearing today.
