Mr. Chairman, I seek time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Rhode Island is recognized for 5 minutes.

Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Chairman, I just want to say I am baffled by the gentleman from Louisiana's assertion that this legislation improves accountability. It is very hard to imagine how undermining the…

Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to H.R. 469, an unwarranted and costly intrusion into Congress' powers under Article I of the Constitution that will undermine the enforcement of…

Mr. Chairman, I yield 4 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).

Mr. Chairman, I think it is very important to say at the outset this is not about clarifying anything. This is about a major change in policy. This amendment will permit the publication of a victim's sensitive information, such as the…

Mr. President, it is nice to see the distinguished Senator in the chair presiding. I am not sure, in my 183 ``Time to Wake Up'' speeches, I have yet had the pleasure of speaking while the Senator was presiding. I am here to once again call…

As I understand from the Senator's response to my last question, if you force the victims of low-dollar but multi-victim fraud to have arbitration as their only remedy, you are way less likely to get consumers asserting their rights, and…

Mr. President, I would like to say a few words about the battle between the jury system and a system in which regular Americans are forced into arbitration, which has a terrible record. I can remember years ago, when I was attorney…

Mr. President, I was just going to ask whether my colleague would yield for a question. My distinguished colleague from Connecticut is an extraordinarily experienced and able lawyer. He was U.S. attorney in Connecticut; for a long time, he…

In conclusion, is it fair to say that the measure we are about to vote on will indisputably have the effect of shifting enormous power from consumers to corporations that engage in high-volume but low- dollar fraud?

It is a very different thing to be allowed to speak after a vote has been taken than to have the opportunity to try to convince your colleagues before the vote is taken.

Mr. President, I rise today to oppose the Congressional Review Act resolution repealing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's forced arbitration rule. At a time when millions of Americans are suffering the consequences of abusive…

Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 572. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the…

I have been clear that I believe that the President, in threatening to walk away from the deal, will make it harder for us to achieve the changes that we need in policy to strengthen our efforts to combat Iran's dangerous behavior.

The problem is that the United States cannot unilaterally alter fundamental terms of a deal

It is also damaging, if you think about it, whether you want, like I do, to find things we can do with allies consistent with the JCPOA, or whether you want to renegotiate it.

I think we should begin about designating the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization.

I believe that President Trump's decision not to certify under the terms of INARA jeopardizes the restrictions already in place on Iran's nuclear activity.
