Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Washington for yielding me the time. We hear a lot of talk coming from the other side about this Texas law, but I want to talk about the legislation that we have in front of us today and what…

Mr. Speaker, due to attendance at a Foreign Affairs classified briefing, I missed rollcall No. 284. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 284.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. This amendment would prohibit the President, Vice President, and Cabinet members from contracting with the Federal Government. The amendment adds broad new language to the criminal…

Mr. Speaker, this is not the bill for this amendment, and it certainly should go through the process and be given the consideration and discussion due true ethics reforms instead of amendments that simply target the former President and…
