This has people deeply afraid about the emergence of an apparatus that may be used against them.

They are worried about yielding their privacy, yielding their transaction history to a Federal Government.

If we, by principle of government, believe you should have access to the Judicial Branch to argue in front of a judge and have a judge decide what is appropriate or inappropriate, I believe that if you abandon your principles at a time…

The regulatory barriers at the local level are really inhibiting supply growth.

Increasing affordable housing access has been a top priority.

It is my fervent belief that affordable housing is an issue that impacts rural Americans, suburban Americans, and urban Americans.

Thomas Lavell Secrest passed away this week after a life full of service to his country. Tom was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, and attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point from 1966 to 1970. After graduation, Tom served in Germany…

Over the last few weeks, we have lost two Americans about whom I want to, here, speak. Earlier this month, we lost a valued member of our southern Indiana community. Lorilee Ward from Clarksville died of cancer. All of us, her friends, her…

On January 20, Hoosiers will celebrate a big milestone. Indiana University will turn 200 and share those 200 years of academic excellence and notable achievements with the whole world. For 200 years, Indiana University has provided top…

I, too, rise in support of this legislation. This is not just a Main Street issue. It is an Elm Street issue; it is a Maple Street issue; it is a Broad Street issue. This is an issue that affects our friends; it affects our neighbors; it…

Every morning our heroes in law enforcement wake up and they kiss their loved ones good-bye, knowing that there is always a chance they may not return that night. Last night, in Charlestown, in Clark County, in the Hoosier State, one of…

Washington shouldn't be subsidizing particular companies or activities in the hopes of winning big.

I thank the chairwoman for hosting this very important Special Order, and I am so glad that we are talking about the tremendous benefits that we have seen from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed just over 6 months ago. During the last 6…

I recently had a townhall in a small county, Washington County, Indiana, where a farmer came up to me and explained to me the choice that he had before him: he could lose thousands of dollars of his cattle or pay thousands of dollars in…

I appreciate the gentleman's support. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Crawford).

I would submit to Mr. Crawford that perhaps those black vultures moved in because of the great representation he provides to all of his constituents. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. DesJarlais). Mr. DesJARLAIS…

In closing, again, I think this amendment is very common sense and very focused on exactly what I hear from Hoosier farmers back home, what I have heard from farmers all the way across the country, which is they want to take the proactive…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In title XI, at the end of subtitle F insert the following: SEC. __. DEPREDATION PERMITS FOR BLACK…

I think with the emergence of new threats, the emergence of new opportunities, we need to make sure that we are keeping up with the times.

I certainly don't believe that we need to put American national security in the backseat but I don't believe that we should put American firms at a competitive disadvantage around the world.

I am pleased to rise in support of this legislation because I think it addresses a fundamental flaw in how we have looked at operational risk capital. Fundamentally, we want banks to hold capital necessary for the risks they are taking…

There are many days when we stand in this Chamber and I specifically talk about the regulations, the regulations that are holding back our economy from growing, holding back consumers from getting the products that they want--we talked…

I appreciate the opportunity to lend my voice to an important piece of legislation. First, like others, I want to thank everybody who has worked very hard on this legislation. I know it is a matter of passion for many Members on both sides…

I thank the chairman for yielding. I, too, stand in strong support of this legislation. A recent poll out by Ernst & Young showed that millennials are starting businesses at a rate that is only one-third of prior generations. When asked…
