These relief funds provide essential emergency aid and jump start the recovery process for those most in need.

Can you summarize why you think codifying the program would lead to better outcomes, please?

What can we do to expedite the process so we can get these dollars to the people who really need the help rebuilding their lives?

FEMA has to be speaking with SBA, with HUD, with the State, and local, everyone needs to be coordinating.

I appreciate your willingness to work with me to make sure disaster relief is being spent on the victims of natural disasters who need assistance.

The people affected by the 2017 disasters as has probably been stated, still haven't seen a single dollar from HUD in most cases.

So those who need the assistance the fastest are delayed by a year, 2 years, depending upon how long it takes to set up.

In 2018, the HUD IG released an audit entitled, 'HUD's Office of Block Grant Assistance Had Not Codified the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Program.'

I want to thank the HUD OIG for its work to identify vulnerabilities in this important program.

I applaud Chairman Clayton and look forward to a finalized SEC rule very soon that will create a best interest standard for broker-dealers that benefits the most vulnerable consumers.

This is about Main Street Americans and their access to sound financial advice.

The Department of Labor rule lacked sufficient economic analysis to even be taken seriously and was already hurting low and middle income retirement saving.

Isn't it true that the core function of the proposed rule requires broker-dealers and their registered representatives to act in the best interest of their retail customers?

With the NFIP being $20.5 billion in debt, we must reform the program to keep it solvent to provide coverage for those who truly need it and to protect the taxpayers from additional and future bailouts.

As a former United States Ambassador having served in Western Europe, I understand just how central the NATO alliance is to safeguarding peace and prosperity and security in Europe and around the world.

I spoke on the House Floor in November expressing my profound dismay with the eighth--eighth--short-term extension vote since Fiscal Year 2017.

You had a responsibility to your customers. Placing one's money and wealth in the custody of an organization like Wells Fargo is one of the biggest displays of the public's trust.

Protecting consumers is one of my most important missions. But the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau deprives consumers of necessary choices and complicates access to financial products.

I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to your leadership, Director Kraninger.

It is Congress' job to change the statutory authority and rein in the CFPB.

It is imperative that this committee exercises oversight over the CFPB to reign in abuses.

I cannot overstate America's centrality in safeguarding human rights, fostering peace, and promoting economic development, trade, and good governance worldwide.

I can tell you that my Gendercide Bill also is very much a part of that too, that there are so many little girls across this country sadly that are killed and alone because of their gender.

I have fought for this on the Republican side of the aisle for some time.

Members of the Burmese military responsible for committing genocide and other crimes against humanity must be held responsible for their actions.
