Good afternoon. Today's hearing covers two items that are of vital importance to the American people.

I will first discuss H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act. This bill reauthorizes the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, and federal aviation programs for five years. The FAA was last reauthorized in 2018, and that statute expires at the end of September. It is imperative that Congress acts.

Good afternoon. Our military stands as one of the greatest forces for good and freedom across the globe. Their role in America's security—and the duty of Congress to provide for our common defense—is a constitutional imperative. It's also why we are here today.

As prepared for delivery:

Good evening. Tonight's meeting is on a simple matter – that is, referring the impeachment resolution noticed by Representative Boebert to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition, the Committee on the Judiciary. I know that many members on both sides of the aisle have differing opinions on Mrs. Boebert's resolution – which is their right.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon. Today's hearing covers three items. The first I'll discuss is H.R. 3799, the CHOICE Arrangement Act, a package of bills designed to give working Americans and small businesses more options when it comes to health coverage.

As prepared for delivery:

Today's hearing covers a single item, a resolution arising under the Congressional Review Act to disapprove of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives' rule that forces millions of law-abiding gun owners, many of them disabled veterans, to dispose of or register their firearms with stabilizing braces.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon. It is no secret that Americans are rightfully frustrated with government overreach and overregulation. I've heard the concerns directly from my constituents in Oklahoma. The last thing people want is the heavy hand of the federal government burdening their families and businesses. Yet the Biden Administration has failed to take note. In their zeal to force their progressive vision onto the nation, Democrats have produced egregious regulation after regulation.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon. Today we are considering a single item, H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act.

This bill is the culmination of bipartisan negotiations between President Biden and Speaker McCarthy to responsibly raise the debt ceiling while enacting significant spending cuts and reforms.

For months, despite repeated requests from Speaker McCarthy, President Biden, and Congressional Democrats refused to negotiate with House Republicans, insisting on nothing less than a clean debt limit hike.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon. Today's hearing covers three items. The first I'll discuss is H.R. 467, the HALT Fentanyl Act.

There isn't a day that passes where one doesn't hear of a tragic story of a life taken by fentanyl. There is no state, district, or community that has not been touched by this scourge. This public health crisis has stolen hundreds of thousands of futures—and it's only getting worse.
