I thank the chairman very, very much for engaging me in this colloquy and for his work on this very important piece of legislation. Last year's National Defense Authorization Act, which passed on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis…

I thank the chairman for agreeing to work with me on this critically important issue and for his leadership on this legislation and in so many other important things that come before this body.

I thank the chairman for yielding me time. I have an amendment, Madam Chair, in this en bloc. I rise today in support of my amendment which would provide a fully offset and fully paid for 67 percent funding increase for investigations of…

I thank the chairman for once again working so hard to put together a national defense authorization that we can all be proud of to secure our common defense. As co-chair of the bipartisan and bicameral Abraham Accords Caucus, I rise in…

I thank the chairman for his courtesy in yielding to me. I rise in support of my bipartisan amendment, which supports critical relief for certain defense contractors who faced crippling cost overruns due to inflation. As so many of us have…

We cannot allow U.S. technology to be used in this kind of nefarious fashion, nor can we allow this axis of evil to move forward.

When? If they transferred 400 missiles--so, it's when, not if.

It is very, very disturbing. Very disturbing.

America's adversaries are lined up to attack our interests and our allies. This crisis demands strong American leadership to disrupt the new axis of evil.

The climate rule initially included Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions data, which would have forced Missouri's farmers to track all emissions being produced by their crops and livestock.

I hope so. And let me follow by saying in February, the Administration sanctioned four companies, providing material and technology to Iran's missile and drone programs.

It is imperative that our export control system is efficient, targeted, and effective now that China, Iran, and Russia have formed a new axis of evil to attack our national security interests.

I like pressuring and compelling. But go ahead.

SEC Chair Gensler's frenetic partisan rulemaking agenda at the SEC has threatened the health of U.S. capital markets.

This hearing is specifically about examining the need for reform--under either a Republican or a Democrat SEC Chair.

The SEC's aggressive and burdensome regulatory approach reveals the urgent need for sensible reforms.

I regret that I was not present for roll call today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 81, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 82, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 83, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 84, and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 85…

I appreciate the gentleman's concern about fraud in our financial system--it is a serious problem that impacts far too many Americans. However, his intent in offering this unnecessary and unworkable amendment seems to be to ensure this…

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Missouri has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I claim the time in opposition, and I am indeed opposed to this amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Missouri is recognized for 5 minutes.
