HFC put in a proposal just recently. I think this is really important. The idea is to shrink Washington and grow the country again. We proposed it in early March. The first thing is we cancel the student loan forgiveness plan which totals…

The bill helps to ensure the survival and recovery of the North Atlantic right whale by repealing the language in last year's appropriation bill that undermines the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

The United States must stand for principles of freedom and the rule of law.
