So thank you very, very much, and I we all look forward in a bipartisan manner to working together with you.

it is really just so frustrating to think of how blatant the attacks on American citizens, our government, our businesses

I am very grateful that I have worked very closely with Chairman Ed Royce, who was the former chairman of the Caucus of India and Indian-Americans.

Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, the Syrian Assad dictatorship mercilessly used chemical weapons of mass destruction on the last rebel-held stronghold near Syria's capital, Damascus, murdering over 50 innocent people, including women and…

What you're doing is making a difference.

Thank you, Chairman Ed Royce, for your long-term commitment to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

I wish you well. I, last summer, had the opportunity for the Food for the Hungry program to visit Guatemala.

I would also like to thank and congratulate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik for her leadership on the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.

Our job is to enforce Federal consumer laws.

Yes, ma'am.

We are still going after bad actors.

I think you should be allowed to know what the law is before you are accused of breaking it.

Why y'all don't want to put me on appropriations, I just don't get it.

I think the Bureau screams out to be reformed.

There is simply a lack of transparency into the Bureau that would be brought to the fore by going through the appropriations process.

That we act a lot more accountably to you folks.

But my point is an appropriations process helps shed light on things, and y'all are voluntarily choosing not to do that, and I do hope you would remedy that situation.

I am going to enforce the law because that is what I get paid to do.
