Legislation like this shows that these communities are very important and that we're interested in a relationship with the Pacific Islands because we see mutual benefit built upon decades of trust.

It's essential that Congress assert its authority in showing that we are not just interested but invested in an enduring relationship with our Pacific Island partners.
This legislation builds off of a successive Administration's actions to strengthen the United States engagement in the Indo-Pacific.
This legislation ensures that we are taking a whole of government approach to efficiently and effectively engage with our partners in the Pacific.
this Chinese entity that engages in genetic testing reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
Why are we removing bad actors from our entities lists and our sanctions lists?
If we want to get tough on China and their peddling of the ingredients into fentanyl... Why do not we sanction?
What did the Administration get from China, from the Chinese Communist Party for removing this entity from the export control Entity List? What did we get?
I do not think we have to make tradeoffs. I think we need to be tough on China.
I commend Chairman McCaul and Ranking Member Meeks for their work... to protect our national security.
I thank my friend from Ohio for holding this bipartisan Special Order because we should in a bipartisan way support the nation of Ukraine in a multilateral way, but we must also support a strategy of victory. Putin is evil. He is a war…
We want to help Ukraine. Republicans in Congress want to help Ukraine, but we want to see the Biden Administration actually produce an effective sanctions policy, and they are not delivering right now.
If you want to win this war, if you want to crush Putin, then you need to abandon this failed price cap strategy.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 681. Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Ogles The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on amendment No. 6, printed in part C of House Report…
That is why House Republicans will pass a resolution this week to protect small businesses' access to affordable credit by rescinding this burdensome and overly-complex rule.
under your leadership, the agency has acted unilaterally and arbitrarily outside its statutory mandate.
I believe this questionnaire could help clarify the need for, or the lack of any need for, this data collection effort and reduce incentives for firms to exit the market because of fear of legal repercussions.
the CFPB is the most-unaccountable agency in the entire Federal bureaucracy, and it is not just about Director Chopra; it is the structure itself.
this has not only led to a lack of accountability by the agency and a lack of accountability to the American people, but it has also harmed the very consumers that, sir, your agency is supposed to protect.
It is about upholding the Constitution and the separation of powers, and if our bill were enacted, the agency would continue to operate.
The CFPB is the most-unaccountable agency in the entire Federal bureaucracy, and it is not just about Director Chopra; it is the structure itself.
Director Chopra, your leadership is a glaring example of this alarming trend of becoming a hyper-partisan agency doing the bidding of the White House rather than protecting American consumers.
