Materiality is the watch word. And the most recent disclosure rule that the SEC has issued is not material.

I am opposed to too much regulation only when it defies common sense.

But, at the end of the day, this is a shameful situation all the way around.

I'm frustrated about is what seems like the subservient behavior of the State Department and DOD, frankly.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Lucas The Acting CHAIR. It is now…

I was one of the proud authors of the AUKUS Submarine Transfer Authorization Act which ultimately signed was signed into law via the Fiscal Year 2024 NDAA.

We need to have a list of personnel so that--we're actually working on it now.

Congress invested nearly a billion in developing suppliers, training workforce, and shoring up critical supply chains.

Oftentimes, it is those unintended consequences that have the biggest bite and impact and are, frankly, the hardest to remove from that.

Today's hearing should not be confused with a debate on climate change but rather whether the Securities and Exchange Commission has the legal authority to mandate climate disclosures from all companies.

If you are not willing to enforce the rules and the laws that are already on the books in the systems that are in place, just adding a new system isn't necessarily the solution.

We have many common goals, which is to limit the economic and military influence that China has certainly over the United States.
