I feel confident that we'll have those votes after people review the text, talk with their colleagues, compare it to our goals.

We want to preserve defense, preserve veterans, and take Social Security and Medicare off the table.

Each of the components we had in the bill on the 26th is reflected in this negotiated deal and principle that the speaker achieved with President Biden.

I believe it will. I will tell you why. We had our plan, which we passed, as you noted, on April 26, with the full support of the American people to stop the avalanche of spending.

I think that's why Speaker McCarthy and President Biden agreed to the $888 billion spending level, which was the president's level, plus 3 percent inflation, was exactly that point contained in this negotiated deal.

Despite the well-known and public sources about Assad's role in Captagon, it took until last month for the Biden administration to finally issue some sanctions against the Syrian regime for the production and trafficking of Captagon.

For the past two under this administration and under Democratic control of this committee U.S. policy on Syria has only deteriorated.

The Biden administration has not enforced sanctions and Syria has now become a narco state, and the murder of innocents continues with near impunity.

It took me nearly two years to get a bill signed into law to get a strategy to be put in place to stop the proliferation of the drug Captagon.

I think we are overwhelmed with captagon poisoning people throughout the Gulf States, another reason why I do not understand diplomatic relations by the Gulf with Syria.

It is depressing to me that we, once again, are here in the Capitol hearing about the criminality and outrage created by the regime in Ortega in Nicaragua.

Wasteful spending, productivity-killing regulations, and overly-accommodative monetary policy have led to a 40-year high in inflation.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: Federal housing policies which only subsidize demand and don't address barriers to supply will never make housing more affordable.

Americans continue to fall behind because of Biden inflation, and their paychecks are worth less every month.

Local zoning practices, especially in our largest cities in the country, are among the many government regulations that make it more expensive to find a place to live in the United States.

Imposing new government mandates like inclusionary zoning and rent control... shifts the costs of building new housing units to residents through higher rents, taxes, and Federal subsidies.

If homeownership is a bipartisan goal, then we ought to be looking at how housing regulations are making homeownership more unattainable for thousands of Americans in both rural and urban areas.

the Biden Administration seems to feel no sense of urgency to help renters and mom-and-pop landlords who need it most.

Republicans have a better solution, the Renter Protection Act, which would simplify the needlessly-complicated Rental Assistance Program.

We need our Community Development Financial Institutions, our nonprofits, our credit unions, and our banks all working to break down barriers to help the underbanked and unbanked have access to the American financial system.

We want to help move families from an entitlement world to an empowerment world.

the Treasury has no idea where the total of $46 billion in rental assistance is, or how it is being spent.

Killers don't deserve a blank check from the IMF, do they?

I introduced bipartisan legislation, H.R. 6306, the Immediate Funds Availability Act, which would increase the amount of funds bank customers are able to receive

I want to, of course, commend and thank all of the members who worked on insider trading topics over the years but, particularly, my friend, Mr. Himes of Connecticut, who has been such a thoughtful leader on this subject.
