I have a lot of ideas.

The last administration fought to lift sanctions against Burma and give the country GSP status, but violence has raged on.

How is the State Department actively responding to the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Burma, and how will the U.S. protect this persecuted community?

the United States should prioritize secondary sanctions against the Chinese companies and banks that sustain the regime.

I think that is the wrong approach. I think what we should be moving forward with right now is U.S. sanctions against Chinese banks.

I want to speak specifically in support of House Resolution 311, the resolution that I was honored to introduce with my colleague, Representative Castro, to commemorate ASEAN's 50th anniversary and the 40th anniversary of U.S.-ASEAN…

My heart breaks for those who have been arbitrarily detained in Iran and I am hopeful that this hearing will help the U.S. Government better respond to these tragedies.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I thank you all for appearing today to discuss issues that affect the cost of being a public company, particularly around corporate governance issues and the growing trend of special interests using the Federal…

This legislation would also keep this issue under the jurisdiction of the SEC, the expert regulator who has the experience of overseeing the industry.

America is in a retirement savings crisis today. And Washington needs to be empowering individuals to save for retirement, not making it more difficult.

The current Department of Labor fiduciary rule will leave Americans who are just starting to build their retirement savings without access to financial advice or paying more for fewer options and decreased service.

I will say that we have codified the standard, best-interest standard in this draft legislation, which I think is a key step forward.

We greatly appreciate Congresswoman Wagner's work on this legislative discussion draft.

the Vice Chair's speech does not help with that at all and in fact, flagrantly flies in the face of policy.

Taiwan will never be a bargaining chip in U.S.-China relations and we must ensure that the Trump administration provides support to our important democratic partner in the Asia-Pacific.

China's checkbook diplomacy is a dangerous provocation to cross-Strait relations, and its cheap tricks in our own backyard are particularly concerning.

I thank the chair very, very much for his indulgence and generosity there.

I am proud to stand before you today to speak on H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act. I would like to thank Chairman Hensarling and all my colleagues on the House Financial Services Committee for their hard work on this legislation…

I am proud to stand before you today to speak on the rule and in support of H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act, which represents years of hard work by our chairman, Jeb Hensarling, and the entire Financial Services Committee. For nearly 8…

Hezbollah is obviously a constant violent threat to our allies and to us.

We need to bring accountability and transparency to a Bureau that has been thwarting congressional oversight and due process. Additionally, the CHOICE Act will increase lending in our communities, open up our economy, end taxpayer-funded…

I want to express my support for all of the bills being considered here this morning.

I thank the gentleman very much for the opportunity to co-lead this Special Order with my dear colleague, Congressman Ted Poe, for Human Trafficking Awareness Week. I was thrilled, Mr. Speaker, that yesterday the House passed my…

Well, I will tell the gentleman that the legislation that he and I have worked on for a number of years and that he has spent the better part of a lifetime as a judge and as a legislator on is saving lives; but, sadly, my hometown of St…

I thank the gentleman. I would say, Mr. Speaker, that these online predators are the bane of our existence. It is a dark underbelly of the human trafficking and sex slavery trade that is out there, and it is absolutely unconscionable that…
