Bill Huizenga

I am glad you have included in the bills we are considering today the bill I introduced, along with Representative Huizenga, to change this bias.

Second, the White House must communicate to American investors the danger of doing business in Nicaragua.

First, the White House must continue increasing the RENACER sanctions on Ortega that I proudly passed in Congress.

It is time for the international community to wake up to this historic evil and for the Biden administration to take action.

The gentlelady's time has expired. That has been noted, and the letter requesting that Chair Gensler appoint a permanent IG has been sent as well.

I had a mentor in my first couple of terms from Michigan, the lion of the House of Representatives, John Dingell.
