Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

In 2010, we had 700 kids get shot in 1 year.

I have an amendment at the desk, Mr. Chairman. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 24, line 14, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $988,000,000)''. Page 25…

The percentage of the American public that thinks that we do the right thing or will do the right thing is in single digits.

The real cost of the problems that we faced here, and in my community, of the public's perception of us and the public's perception of corruption is the loss of the ability to lead.

The longer I serve, the more I support purchasing beer.

Startups, if they survive their earliest years, make an outsized contribution to sustainable job growth.

Having respectfully heard the argument, I would stand on the statements we have made and yield back the balance of my time.

I think that Congress should not attempt to block the long gun reporting requirement that has recently been upheld by a Federal court.

It is, as you know, very hard to minimize or diminish the tragedy that is Fast and Furious, a horribly ill-conceived program that led to the loss of life of an agent, endangered others.

The fact remains, studies still show this a dangerous vehicle. Studies still show it is suboptimal. Studies still show it is wildly over cost. I want to help marines. I want to save marine lives. That's why this amendment is appropriate…

I continue to reserve. Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield at this time 1 minute to the ranking member of the committee, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).

I know there are folks who don't want to, in any way, have a pro-gay vote on it, but this is protecting human beings. It's the right thing to do. It should have been in this part of the bill. I suggest everyone vote ``no.''

The JOBS Act, as you know, was passed with bipartisan support and signed into law by the President on April 5th of this year.

The plain truth is: when the earthquake of a financial crisis hits, every nation feels its aftershocks, including here at home.

I respect your views. I just differ with the effectiveness there.

Today is a sad day. In an effort to strip women of the right to choose, anti-choice groups have blocked access to life-saving cancer screenings. The Nation's leading breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen, announced it will no longer…

I am not out to demonize anyone in any industry, but we have had enough lessons in our lifetime here to recognize, human nature being what it is, someone needs to regulate particularly this industry.

I am particularly sensitive and concerned too because we have veterans coming home with health issues that aren't new, but perhaps will be extraordinary in number and intensity.

We explicitly created the CFPB to protect Americans from these fraudulent and abusive products.

I certainly appreciate the willingness of Mr. Cordray to submit to this oversight.
