I was very proud to vote for the CARES Act and for four, total, bipartisan packages.

My story is not the only one. As of June 30th, per CRS, only 25 percent of the funds provided by the CARES Act have been used by States and local governments.

I am deeply disappointed that St. Louis County has been unable to distribute these funds in a timely and efficient manner.

These dollars are critical in supporting health and public safety operations as the pandemic continues to impact our neighborhoods.

I think these ten resource networks are something that we are seeing both in the private and certainly in our Federal financial regulator system, and it is something that is very positive.

It is in a company's best interest to hire and develop a diverse workforce and create an inclusive work environment.

Now that the Supreme Court has made its decision regarding the structure of the Bureau, it is time for Congress to work together to put the Bureau on a budget, overseen by Congress, and run by a bipartisan board.

I am unable to attend today's vote series due to events in my district. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 167.

Today, we are seeing rivals like China and Russia exploit instability and crisis to undermine democratic values and respect for human rights.

It would be my assessment that some or all of these bills presented for this hearing would be costly to companies.

Russia has proven that it will exploit any opportunity to undermine and roll back American influence, even at the cost of destabilizing regions.

We have authorized some $660 billion in forgivable loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which has supported more than 51 million American jobs.

When this pandemic began, and businesses were forced to close their doors in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Congress took swift action to stabilize the economy.

I want to welcome our witnesses and thank them for testifying about the obstacles that women- and minority-owned businesses face when it comes to accessing capital and financial services.

If these reports are, indeed, true, we must take strong and swift action to show Russia that attacking Americans is never acceptable.

I thank the Chairman and, certainly, our witnesses for bringing attention to China's attempt to bully and intimidate Hong Kong into abandoning its rights and freedoms.

Hong Kong's success as a free and open city exposes the injustices and hypocrisy of the communist system in China.

The United States must stand by its partners in the Indo-Pacific as we protect the rule of law and freedom of navigation.

I am here today to call on colleagues to support the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, legislation that is poised to be a lifeline to my constituents in Missouri's Second Congressional District during this…

Much work remains to be done, but I am hopeful that the agreement the administration has negotiated will lay the foundation for a lasting peace in Afghanistan.

Placing one's money and wealth in the custody of an organization like Wells Fargo is one of the biggest displays of trust.

We should use that leverage.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of this motion to recommit to protect newborn babies who survive abortions. Congress has an opportunity to ensure that no baby is denied lifesaving care simply…

If the Democrat majority wants to test that bipartisan agreement and upend decades of precedent, they are welcome to use the simple, clear process laid out in Article V of the Constitution to propose and adopt a new and legal ERA…

I thank my friend and colleague from across the river in Illinois. I have the great privilege of representing Missouri's Second Congressional District, and he is a leader in this Congress, but most of all, he is a wonderful friend and…
