I urge adoption of my amendment. It is clear. It is concise. It is simple. It is just good policy. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Tennessee…

My amendment is simple, because it underscores that the Federal Reserve should not move forward with implementing a CBDC or use any policy that would forward that action. Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of…

There is a reason that China, under the rule of the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party, has the most developed CBDC program. It is about control. Their CBDC enables them to combine intrusive monitoring of the public and control their…

I would remind some of the Members in the back that it is crowded back there. There are a few more seats down front if they want to come down here. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize radio deejay Ted ``Gunner'' Ousley, who is retiring in…

for over three decades, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act--or RECA, as it is frequently described--has stood as a testament to our Nation's enduring commitment to righting the wrongs of the past. Where it has hurt someone, it wants…

I deeply appreciate the insights offered today by my friends and colleagues, and that they truly are. The senior Senator from Missouri and the junior Senator from New Mexico have made an impassioned plea--an impassioned plea that I am…

I think the esteemed chairman of the Judiciary Committee is misreading the bill because this would apply to people who are entering the United States. It would apply to those who are coming to the southern border. This is a process that…

I appreciate the thoughtful analysis-- consistent with his always thoughtful, analytical approach to matters-- that has been offered up by my friend and colleague, the distinguished Senator from Connecticut. Yes, he and I have worked…

it is unfortunate that it didn't have the chance to pass this today. I would have loved to have passed it. The reason I would love to have passed it is because, as my friend and distinguished colleague, the Senator from California, just…
