I am concerned about Main Street and what is going on.

My goal is to make sure that we have an equality of opportunity for everybody no matter where they live, no matter what their income is.

What I am very concerned about--because I, too, like one of my colleagues, I can't remember who it was--as they sit down and talk to employers a couple of things that they expressed is they said, 'We have a hard time finding somebody who…

The fact of the matter is that we are mired in the slowest recovery since at least World War II.

We need to make sure that there is an equal opportunity.

Economic performance couldn't be stronger, especially in light of the deep hole that President Obama inherited.

But today it will be different in at least one important respect.

Unfortunately, economic opportunities are now disappearing even faster.

I believe these district bank presidents do that.

The Federal Reserve System is lacking diversity and not doing enough to serve their communities.

May I inquire of the remaining time on both sides. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Michigan has 1 minute remaining, and the gentleman from New York has 2 minutes remaining.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting 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: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. I maybe, possibly like yourself, have occasional differences with my own church denomination. I have challenged them to talk to their own missionaries that are in the surrounding areas, whom I have…

And I believe I have the right to close; correct? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New York has the right to close.

Will the gentleman yield? Mr. McDERMOTT. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan.

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue a rule mandating that public companies disclose whether the minerals they use benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo, also known…

First of all, I would like to point out to my colleague from New York that he is actually wrong. We marked this bill up in committee in April of this year. And the interesting thing, Mr. Chairman, is they want it both ways. We have to…

It would seem to make sense for me that would also hold especially on a leasing company's fleet.

I think this chairman would like to make sure that everybody watching and listening to this understands that we will be watching very closely what our financial institutions are going to be doing and trying to hold them responsible for…

We have already seen bipartisan support for making sure that the indications that EX-IM has given would be codified.

I would love to have had Boeing here to start talking about what they are going to do if the terms of the JCPOA are not being upheld

Nothing in the JCPOA says we are supposed to finance Iran or any of its entities.

I have supported EX-IM Bank, but not if it finances the air force of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Let us hope Boeing rethinks their decision, and if they do not, our work is clear.
