With that, Mr. Chairman, I would notice I'm only three seconds over. Thank you, sir. Well"

By giving them permanent authority, you can go, well, instead of putting up, and we may still put the patch on there to begin with, why don't we fix the roof?

"I appreciate you being here to answer questions as we consider your nomination. Let me begin with a question relative to OMB's May 2026 proposed rule to implement a sweeping overhaul of the uniform guidance governing federal grants and financial assistance. It would actually substantially expand agency's authority to suspend or terminate awards, elevate the role of political appointees in grant decisions, and centralize government-wide"

“Oversight of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office”
house Judiciary Committee · Mar 25, 2026
"A decision like that doesn't just drag the USPTO into covering up for a slush fund that may violate both the foreign and domestic emoluments clauses. It's bad for the integrity of our fairness and objectivity of our system. It begins to fall apart. So I'm not just troubled that you may be violating the basic trademark rules. I'm troubled that in violating the rules to help Donald Trump, you may be acting as a political operative in a way that will destroy our neutral system for regulating..."

"The first thing I want to talk about is the visa and H-2A petitions. At the end of April 2026, USCIS reported a net backlog of all USCIS cases at 7.23 million cases, an increase of nearly 70% from the beginning of the administration, before your time, with the expectation that additional vetting requirements may even further restrain those processing times.

"And despite that, they're still losing money that magnitude. So, how do you kind of phrase your approach differently than Ms. Pivec's, which would include all sports, and you specifically mentioned revenue? Now, next, and I'll have two more questions. If one thing that Ms. Lynch brought up, I think, Mr. Temple, that once you begin to put someone into a union, I know Ms. Lynch did, then they may have to pay tax on a training table. They may have to pay tax on a value of a scholarship. If they're..."

You were confirmed as deputy secretary in March of last year. You've run it as acting secretary since April. I just talked about the harm this Republican majority has done to our economy, but you have built your own anti-worker record at DOL. You rescinded the overtime rule in May, slamming the door on time-and-a-half pay for more than four..."

Now, the IRA, which is going to begin to include small biotech in 2028, they tell me is a real hindrance to raising capital because they see that their drugs that are currently raising the money may be subject to the IRA. What do you think – and again, small biotech has been the fertile field where all this innovation has"

So as you may or may not know, we started moving out on a new contract to sort of consolidate nitro glove procurement within the federal government for all agencies to ensure we are buying American nitro gloves. So that contract began executing at the beginning of this month. It started with a few agencies, and it's going to roll out and expand to a larger swath. So I think we will start..."
