As I said to you when I first got up, I said to you I wanted to shine light on the bill.

The gentleman knows that he was involved in the negotiation for placing that in the omnibus bill. I have raised a question with you, even though you are saying you had nothing to do with----

This bill will provide an important and long overdue reauthorization of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act, or NAHASDA. Through NAHASDA, the Federal Government provides housing assistance to Native Americans…

I would first like to thank Congresswoman Moore, as well as Congresswoman Fudge, for their efforts to craft the text of this bill which represents a dramatic improvement from a similar bill that was considered in the Financial Services…

After conversations with CFTC Chairman Massad and following this action by the regulator, I felt comfortable having H.R. 5471 be considered under a suspension of the House rules. Now, I have heard from several companies that, while the…

To date, many of us are uncomfortable with the fact that ISIS has gotten as far as it has gotten.

It is inconceivable when we have what we think is one of the best intelligence agencies in the world that ISIS could have developed this far...

Many of us were shocked and surprised that we appear to know so little about ISIS when the information finally reached public view.

Thank you very much, Mr Chairman, for scheduling today's hearing.

I thank Mr. Rangel for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose H.R. 4, the so-called Jobs for America Act. Six years ago this week marked the collapse of Lehman Brothers. That bankruptcy on Wall Street quickly spread across our country…

I would like to submit the following: Americans for Financial Reform, Washington, DC, September 18, 2014. Dear Representative: On behalf of Americans for Financial Reform (AFR), we are writing to urge you to oppose H.R. 4, the ``Jobs For…

May I inquire as to how much time I have left? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from California has 7\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Oh, very good. I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Ellison).

You have heard from me and Congressman Ellison why this process is a process that we cannot in any way allow to take place without the kind of criticism that we are putting forth about this. This rises to the point of being shameful. This…

I am so proud to yield as much time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. McCarthy), a distinguished member of the Financial Services Committee. She is a woman that has worked hard to bring a clear bill to the floor…

Some Members will come to the floor, and they will support this legislation because they may have one bill in this package, and I understand that. Some Members may have cosponsored a bill or worked on one bill. These Members, no matter how…

the proposal in Congresswoman Waters' bill to shorten the amount of time that negative information stays on a credit report from 7 years to 4 years.

I would like to thank you and Chairman Hensarling for granting my request for this important meeting.

Members, you have heard about businesses in any number of districts that receive the support from the Ex-Im Bank. I would like to read to you excerpts from a letter from Chairman Hensarling's district. This is from Fritz-Pak, and this…

And Members, I will read into the Record a letter from Steve Wilburn, CEO of the green energy company FirmGreen, who lost a $57 million contract because of uncertainty surrounding the future of the Ex-Im Bank. I will read you excerpts from…

Today we have Democrats on the Financial Services Committee here where we have gathered on the House floor to talk about the Export-Import Bank, which supports hundreds of thousands of jobs and levels the playing field so that American…

This has turned out to be not a straightforward investigation or oversight responsibility in the proper way that could be done, but, rather, what is commonly referred to as a witch hunt.

I do not want you to discontinue your efforts to make sure that you have the kind of Bureau where every human being is respected and every human being is dealt with fairly.

I hope that you are not in any way intimidated by the attacks that are being made from the opposite side of the aisle.

I thank the gentleman for the time. I would also like to thank Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, Ranking Member Bennie Thompson, Transportation Security Subcommittee Chairman Richard Hudson, and Ranking Member Cedric…
