Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the Roy amendment. My colleague's amendment removes exceptions in the bill to the requirement that inflation impact assessments be prepared for all major executive orders. With historic inflation created by this administration's inflationary policies, as well as the previous House majority's excessive, unnecessary spending spree, historic inflation is harming households across the Nation. Our focus should be on doing everything we can to protect our constituents against further inflation. Extending the bill's requirement to all major executive orders is one way we can do that, and that will not unduly burden the President. After all, the bill's requirements do not prevent any executive order from being issued. They just make sure the President is aware of the inflationary impact that his orders may threaten because I don't think my friends on the other side of the aisle realize how much these orders have impacted inflation. So I hope that this helps stop the Bidenflation at its source by helping President Biden to see that the inflationary consequences of his actions at the time he is considering them. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes''.
