Congressman Capuano has asked whether it is the intention of the bill's managers that the commitment of project- based vouchers to replace the former public housing units in a newly constructed development such as one he described in…

I want to close with a few remarks here. It won't take very long. I think you can see that this is a very important and, also, very emotional issue for many, many people and it is extremely important for those folks who are in and around…

Can you tell me how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Marchant). The gentleman from Missouri has 7\1/ 2\ minutes remaining.

I have no further requests for time and am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1530

I would like to thank Chairman Hensarling, Ranking Member Waters, and especially my good friend from Missouri, the ranking member, Mr. Cleaver. We have had a labor of love with this bill, and it took two guys from the Show Me State to show…

I apologize to the ranking member. I do have one additional speaker. If the gentlewoman is out of time, I am more than willing to allow the gentlewoman to have some of our time to be able to rebut in case there is something that is an…

I thank the gentleman for the additional time. Basically, we have got 518 rules in one day, 18 pages of rules in one day. I think it is important that our citizens have access to these rules in a way that they can understand and a form…

I thank Chairman Goodlatte for working with us on this piece of legislation. If there is one thing that I hear most often from my constituents, it is the onslaught of Federal regulations to keep up, let alone interpret. Our constituents…

I thank the gentleman from Florida for yielding. A majority of the Financial Services Committee and, in fact, the majority of Congress recognizes the need to preserve the current State- based model of insurance regulation. It is an…

I can tell you just from the testimony we had the other day, you know, the card companies are in the process of--this is a step-by-step process.

There is no doubt reform of TILA and RESPA is needed. Change has been advocated by all parties, and by Members on both sides of the aisle. Like many of you, I continue to hear from lenders, real estate professionals, and title insurance…

CFPB is a figment of our creation of Dodd-Frank here, and to me it is the most dangerous agency in Washington because it is unaccountable.

Dodd-Frank needs to be streamlined.

The Clear Act, H.R. 1233, sponsored by Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer, includes the portfolio QM provision that I described.

Dodd-Frank is crippling small lenders access to capital.

I urge support of H.R. 2482, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Luetkemeyer) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R…

I just want to thank the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Carolyn B. Maloney) for her hard work in helping cosponsor this bill, Ranking Member Waters, as well as the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Hill) and the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr…

I just want to reiterate my support and thanks for the hard work of the gentleman from Colorado. He has been a leader on this issue, and certainly it has been a pleasure to work with him. I urge passage of H.R. 1408, and I yield back the…

I encourage support for H.R. 2997. I think it is a great idea to, again, go into a public-private partnership and utilize that as an opportunity, again, at no cost to the taxpayers. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro…

We just want to reiterate our support for H.R. 1047. We feel it corrects some problems that have arisen inadvertently. I yield back the balance of my time.

Today, I rise in support of H.R. 2997, the Private Investment in Housing Act of 2015. This bill, introduced by my colleague, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Ross), would authorize the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish…

Just to reiterate, the gentleman from Texas and the fine ladies from New York and California have really done a good job of explaining this bill. The importance of this, the fact that we are going to try and go after one of the Nation's…

In closing, just to reiterate and, again, congratulate and associate our remarks with the fine gentleman's from Texas (Mr. Al Green), one can see that his hard work and advocacy and his passion for this issue is unparalleled. We certainly…

I think it was interesting that when we had the former author of the bill, Mr. Frank himself, in this committee a little over a year ago, he indicated that the SIFI situation has gone well beyond the intent of what he and his coauthor, Mr…

How much time do I have remaining, Mr. Chairman? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Missouri has 30 seconds remaining.
