I rise to offer an amendment. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: TITLE IX--MISCELLANEOUS Sec. 901. None of the…

The fact that I am not going to be able to have my 5-minute allotted time apparently, I am curious if this negotiated hard stop was something that was negotiated from the panel, or is this a hard stop for yourself?

I urge the Democrat leadership to immediately schedule this very important bill and to sign the discharge petition as well. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized. ____________________

I will note to my colleagues that as a Detroit Lions fan, I, too, don't have a football team, but I am proud to stand on the floor today and note that this is an important time to address these things. We all, as a nation, are thankful for…

I am prepared to reserve, but I would like to note to my friend from Louisiana, as a Lions fan, it is much easier to be supportive of a Saints player than if this guy had actually been a Green Bay Packer. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance…

I just want to note that we are having our second Senate bill from Louisiana, so we are covering our colleagues from down in Louisiana. I just want to encourage my colleagues to support this important piece of legislation, and I yield back…

Ms. Grimes, I appreciate you being here, and having your story be told.

I hope that we continue to understand that these agencies need more oversight.

I look forward to continuing to explore how the Fed and FOMC will be properly tailoring the Volcker rule.
