Ed Royce

I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Meehan), a member of the Committee on Ways and Means and author of this bill.

If you can get there.

We have choked off so many loans.

This is one of the reasons I opposed Dodd-Frank.

If we were smart, what we would have done was put this function underneath the prudential regulators.

I worry that the costs of what economists call here the cloud of political risk that comes into play... this is one of the mistakes in Dodd-Frank, one of the things that we did not get right.

I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy), our majority leader. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I want to take a moment and thank the chairman for his work that has been done for the…

I would just make the point that, with respect to Ronald Reagan, when President Reagan was presented with a bad deal at Reykjavik, while in his negotiations with the Russians, at that point, he walked away from that deal. He pushed away…

I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith), chairman of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, in terms of viewing this as the most intrusive regime, I remember South Africa. We put the kinds of sanctions on South Africa that we tried to get the administration to put on Iran…

I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Heck), a member of the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, several Members spoke of Iran's commitments under this agreement. While it is true that Iran has committed to taking certain steps under the agreement, it is also true that Iranians…

I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Dent), chairman of the Committee on Ethics.

I would also point out, though, that we have heard from many experts. We have heard from many generals, admirals, and there are over 200 generals and flag officers, admirals who have come to the opposite conclusion, who have come to the…

I would just note that over 200 retired generals, flag officers, and admirals signed a letter in opposition; and we have heard continuously, including this week, from retired generals, officers, and admirals about their concerns about this…

I appreciate the bipartisan relationship that all of the Members on the Foreign Affairs Committee have, but especially today, the words of Mr. Engel that every Member of this House should be mindful that impugning motives, questioning the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 245, nays 186, not voting 2, as follows: [Roll No. 492] YEAS--245 Abraham Aderholt Allen Amash Amodei Babin…
