Seeing as I have no additional speakers, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4403, the Enhancing Overseas Traveler Vetting Act. I yield back the balance of my time.

In light of the recent attack in Brussels, it is appropriate to reevaluate our anti-ISIS policy. The Obama administration's basic policy is sound in three parts--don't be suckered into declaring war against 1.4 billion Muslims around the…

I want to commend the gentleman from New Jersey for authoring and bringing this resolution to the floor. Mr. Speaker, Syria and much of Iraq face two great evils. ISIS is well-known to us, and its evil is established by them on their own…

I commend the gentleman from Texas for his speech and the gentleman from Nebraska who spoke earlier for his introduction of this resolution, along with my colleague, Anna Eshoo, from California. And, of course, I commend Chris Smith for a…

And I rise in strong support of the resolution. Mr. Speaker, this resolution deals with the crimes of ISIS. I want to thank my colleague from California, Anna Eshoo, and our colleague from Nebraska, Jeff Fortenberry, for their drafting of…

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Chairman, this bill will be going through the legislative process. It is important that we improve the Operation Choke Point provisions. I have enjoyed working with the gentleman from Missouri, and I hope that he…

This is really two bills that have been put together. One deals with Operation Choke Point, and for reasons explained by the majority, it is important that we pass that part of the legislation. The other imposes restrictions on FIRREA, and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 2, line 6, strike ``poses'' and all that follows through ``such belief'' and insert the following…

We have tough economic conditions out in our country. We need more jobs. We need business to operate smoothly. How many jobs do we create by telling merger and acquisition brokers that they can get fees from the seller and get fees from…

There may be some acrimony on the floor from time to time, but I think we are mostly in agreement. The SEC, under some tutelage from the committee, in January of 2014 issued its no-action letter providing that, in certain circumstances, a…

I offer my amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 9, after line 16, insert the following: ``(C) Disqualification for certain conduct.--An M&A broker may not make…

There might be some advantage to having language identical to the Senate, if the bill was identical to a Senate bill. In this case, this title is being added to five other titles. In the committee, we dealt with it as six separate bills…

I voted for every sanctions bill on Iran that has come to this floor--I helped draft many of them--and I am ready to help draft, work on, and vote for sanctions bills on Iran because Iran continues its behavior in the area of missiles, and…

So the President promised that we would not abandon our efforts with regard to Iran's terrorism and with regard to Iran's hostage taking, and that we would not abandon the four hostages they had then or the additional hostage that they…

I just want to further the remarks of the gentleman from Illinois who just spoke. There are those who think we can just go after ISIS. Keep in mind, the Shiite extremist alliance of Tehran, of Assad, of Hezbollah has killed far more…

on rollcall No. 7, the Johnson of Georgia Amendment No. 2, had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.'' Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Cummings The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment…

There are some 6 billion people in the world who aren't from one of the 38 favored countries and have to go through an in-person interview to visit the United States. It is not unfair for us to impose the same requirement on those…

We want to vote for a bill to reflect the angst of our constituents. If you read this bill, you can't vote for it. It forces our three security leaders--the Director of the FBI, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Secretary of…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, it has been a pleasure to work with the gentleman from Florida on this bill. I was pleased to join him in introducing this legislation. This is a commonsense bill. It has, I believe, total…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, especially because I rise in favor of this amendment; not because it is perfect, but because it deals with a fundamental problem in the underlying legislation. How are we going to fund our highway…

This Bank is important. That is why Ronald Reagan said on January 30, 1984, that the Export-Import Bank contributes in a significant way to our Nation's export sales. We should not adopt an unnecessary amendment, the effect of which would…

I have tremendous respect for the author and his intention here, but any amendment to the Ex-Im title means the Ex-Im title is open to the conference, which will kill the Ex-Im Bank. So we should not adopt an amendment that mostly restates…

In the ideologically perfect world of Ayn Rand novels, there is no Ex-Im Bank for the United States or any other country. In the real world, Germany has an export credit agency. China has one. Canada has one. They are all much bigger than…

Tomorrow the Select Committee on Benghazi will hold hearings certain to drive congressional approval ratings to new lows. The majority leader, the leader of the Republicans, and the New York Republican, Mr. Hanna, and former Republican…

I do want to quote out of it. The CFPB recognizes that ``the mortgage industry has needed to make significant systems and operational changes to adjust to the requirements of the Rule.'' It goes on to set forward why we need this grace…
