I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chair, it is not my intent today to oppose the amendment; however, I do want to express my reservations over the amendment from the gentleman from Pennsylvania. I think it is important that we set…

I thank the gentleman from North Carolina for yielding to me and I associate myself with his remarks. The Durbin amendment has not helped consumers and, in fact, has hurt them. It has hurt small banks and credit unions. The only entities…

74 percent of the people who are uninsured are employed, which tells me that it is a great way to deliver health insurance.

I understand what you go through and I appreciate you being here today and telling some of your stories.

Today I rise in strong support of the bill on the floor before us, the Regulatory Accountability Act of 2017. Over the last 8 years, it has been clear that our country has been on the wrong path. Through overregulation and government…

I reserve a point of order. The SPEAKER pro tempore. A point of order is reserved. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.

Just to highlight some comments here with regard to the ranking member's last discussion on this point of order, we believe the motion to recommit has absolutely nothing to do with financial stability. Title 1 of the bill deals with…

I thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson) for his interest and for his authoring this amendment. Madam Speaker, the amendment makes clear that H.R. 6392 should not be construed to allow international standards to be imposed on U.S…

So I think even the ranking member made my point a while ago when she said 27 banks, a total of $4.6 trillion. We have got a half dozen banks over $1 trillion, so we are talking about some small banks that are really going to have a small…

Just to recap, the Dodd-Frank came into being as a result of the crisis. One of the solutions was to be able to fine systemically important financial institutions before they brought the economy down. Coming up with the SIFI definition was…
