With that admonishment, I won't say Ma-Bu-Hi and welcome to our Filipino friends in the gallery; but I will yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Heck), the lead sponsor on the Republican side.

I appreciated the personal touches and discussions from Representative Latta and Representative Kaptur as they talked about their family members in this very important organization. With that, I urge the bill's passage. I yield back the…

My colleague from Washington, who has been a big proponent of the Export-Import Bank and a particular company that he was alluding to and talking about, knows, though, that this bill would apply to any aircraft that the Treasury authorizes…

Well, America, you just heard a ridiculous straw-man choice laid out in front of you. Mr. Speaker, this is not about anything other than selling and financing aircraft sales to Iran. That is what this bill is about. This is what this bill…

That is actually not true. Airbus is subject to this as well because of the significant number of parts and material in the jets that they produce. So they would be subject to this as well as Boeing.

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 1, before line 1, insert the following: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the…

Will you commit to us, here, that you will stay any Commission vote on that rule until after the inauguration?

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, this is going to be from the heart. My family is originally from Flint, on my mom's side. I have had very many fond memories growing up as a child going and visiting aunts and uncles and…

I am offering this amendment because Great Lakes ports and harbors are facing a crisis. I want to thank the chairman of the committee for his willingness to work on this situation, not just in this bill but in previous bills as well. The…

I appreciate the work that both the chairman and the ranking member put into this particular issue that is so important to those of us that border the Great Lakes. I urge my colleagues to pass this amendment. I yield back the balance of my…

May I inquire of the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Michigan has 2-minutes remaining.

I believe that the President has deprived Congress and the American people an opportunity to hold the Fed accountable.
