I thank Ranking Member Waters for yielding. I know she understands the danger in yielding to me as much time as I may consume. I will just take a couple of minute on this. I rise in opposition to H.R. 4771, the Small Bank Holding Company…

Here we are again. On Thursday, the government runs out of funding because the majority has not yet been able to reach across the aisle and negotiate a long-term budget agreement that reflects the priorities of the American people. One…

It should be a wake-up call for every American, a wake-up call about what happens when we put balance sheets ahead of the interests of people.

Tomorrow President Trump will give his first State of the Union Address. It is an opportunity for the President to demonstrate leadership and bring to this floor a discussion for both parties to come together and pass, number one, a…

We have a lot of differences on this floor, and we are supposed to have differences. That is why there are 435 of us. Unfortunately, those differences have not been reconciled, and the Federal Government has been closed now in its third…

I appreciate the opportunity to speak. I just want to point out the position we are in. We hear that Republicans and Democrats in the Senate can't come together because Democrats are holding up this bill in the Senate. Well, let's just…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. I appreciate the opportunity to express my concerns with the way this bill has moved to the floor today. Mr. Chairman, I support the bill's authorization of a U.S. contribution to the International…

I understand we may come to different conclusions ultimately on how the bill comes to the floor, and Members ought to feel free to vote their conscience, but it is not the case that we did not express those concerns with the hope that they…

The Republican majority spent the entire year of 2017 in this House essentially stacking the deck for the most powerful interests in this country. That tax bill, you look at it closely, it grants massive benefits to people at the very top…

Yesterday, I guess for the second day in a row, this House voted for massive tax cuts for people at the very top and left behind a lot of working Americans. In fact, it gave permanent tax cuts to corporations and only temporary help for…

Yesterday, on the floor of this House and, I guess, again today, there will be a vote on this massive tax cut targeted to people at the very top, targeting big cuts for corporations. Like many Members on this side of the aisle, I welcome…

As Republicans continue to rush their tax plan through both Houses of Congress, they leave behind tens of millions of Americans to give deficit-exploding tax breaks to the absolute wealthiest. They are also leaving behind some really…

I am glad many of today's witnesses have raised issues, will raise issues like the need to improve information sharing.

Existing CFIUS authorities were not designed and are not sufficient to deal with that kind of challenge.

I believe the CFIUS process generally works well for private, commercially motivated transactions.

I am proud that the United States is, in fact, a place that welcomes foreign investment.

I hope we can all bring that sense of urgency to how this committee approaches its work on CFIUS reform.

I thank my friend, the gentlewoman, the ranking member, for yielding, and I thank Mr. Woodall for his comments. He and I have worked together on issues in the past. We worked together to try to protect our solar manufacturers in this…

Republicans continue to rush their tax scam through Congress, raising taxes on tens of millions of people, borrowing over $1 trillion, just to give massive tax breaks to the people at the very top of the economy. For the last 3 months…

I want to encourage the leadership of the subcommittee to continue on that path.

Look, I, like every Member in this House, recognize that we need to do something about taxes. We need bipartisan tax reform that actually works for everybody, but what the Senate passed through committee and what the House passed here a…

Just calling this tax bill a middle class tax bill does not make it so. You actually have to read the bill. And if you do, you will find that the vast majority of the benefit goes to the people at the very top: the wealthiest Americans…

I thank the gentleman for yielding me time and for his incredible leadership on this subject. You can't have it both ways. I just heard it said. You can't have it both ways. So what I suspect will happen after I get done, as has been the…

Democrats agree that we need to simplify our Tax Code and provide tax relief to middle-income families. Unfortunately, this Republican tax plan gives big tax cuts to the rich, huge tax cuts to corporations, and raises taxes--yes, the…

In closing, I would just reiterate two things. One, I think here is an opportunity for us to demonstrate that there are times when we come together to deal with specific problems in a bipartisan fashion. We ought to encourage it, and I am…
