Questioning Vindman's patriotism is shameful.

This is not just my opinion but one that most Republicans share.

Take a breath, Rand Paul. I vote with realDonaldTrump 97 percent of the time. You have a D. Maybe sit this one out and spend some time thinking about all your anti-Trump votes.

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Wyoming has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

By direction of the Republican Conference, I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 481 Resolved, That the following named Members be, and are hereby…

Let me add my concern to the concern you have heard from I think just about everybody on the subcommittee on both sides, that this was zeroed out in the budget, and our commitment to making sure that we do everything we can to provide the…

I remain very concerned that we are headed down an extremely dangerous path.

But my concern is, even if, let's say for the sake of argument, that you believe that those negotiations could lead someplace...

But, General, is there anything you see that gives you confidence that it would be your best military advice that we could, in fact, negotiate any kind of agreement...

I wonder, General Votel, if you could point me to anything that the Taliban has said or done to either renounce violence...

None of us want what the President has called endless wars; however, it would be far worse if we handed a victory to our jihadist enemies.

I have to say, when I look at the situation in Afghanistan and the policy that I am afraid we are pursuing now here, it looks like we are aggressively setting those conditions aside, aggressively ignoring the conditions on the ground.

This is an incredibly difficult set of issues that both of our witnesses, I think, have pointed to the fact that it is something we are dealing with across the nation...

I think it is going to be crucially important for us to recognize and understand, when we outlaw plane travel, we outlaw gasoline, we outlaw cars, I think actually probably the entire U.S. military because of the Green New Deal.

I would assume that each of the witnesses who believes that we should, in fact, move toward net zero emissions, would say that we ought to do so gradually, not suddenly.

I have to say, one of the issues that people are particularly concerned about is the extent to which we are no longer going to have air travel.

I appreciate the gentlewoman's willingness to work with me on this important issue, as well as her tireless work on this critical bill. I will not be offering my amendments.

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to my colleague from California (Mrs. Torres) pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the…

I am prepared to close as well, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I am in support of all of these bills. I want to thank my colleagues, Mr. Curtis and Mr. Pearce, in particular.

I want to thank Representative Aponte for being here today and giving us the information from the Department of Natural Resources.
