Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 1215, the Fraud and Scam Reduction Act. I want to thank Representative Blunt Rochester, my good friend Representative Walberg, and the other members of the Energy and Commerce Committee for their tireless work on this important bill. H.R. 1215 would establish a senior scams prevention advisory council, which will create model educational materials to inform employees of retail companies and financial institutions on how to identify and prevent scams. This bill would work in concert with other recently enacted legislation to provide Americans with the tools they need to educate and protect themselves against these bad actors. It is a very good bill, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
