I think we are getting a pretty solid impression that CMS audits are not timely, and this is unfair to both the plans and the taxpayers.

I thank Chairman Royce for yielding me time, and I rise in strong support of this resolution condemning the terror attacks in the United Kingdom. Mr. Speaker, the senseless acts of terror that took place in Manchester and London are stark…

Thank you for the opportunity to speak on this important bill. I would also like to thank my colleagues on the Ways and Means Committee, particularly Ms. Jenkins, for collaborating to put this package together. The bill before us is built…

Last week, The Washington Post reported that at least 12 former Guantanamo detainees, after being released, had gone on to lead and participate in attacks against Americans and allied forces in Afghanistan. And most troubling, Mr. Speaker…

Let me begin by thanking both Chairman Thornberry and Chairman Royce for their assistance in helping to craft this amendment, and also let me thank Ranking Member Engel and Dr. Bera, who joined Chairman Royce as original cosponsors. Mr…

The American people deserve and expect IRS employees to follow the same tax laws that they administer. It is very simple. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Rouzer), the sponsor of the legislation.

The Internal Revenue Service, the people who work there, most of them, like most Americans, pay their taxes. The Internal Revenue Service is charged, obviously, with administering the Tax Code, they are charged with collecting taxes. I…

The motion to recommit is an attempt by the minority to gloss over the IRS' failure to enforce its rules for IRS employee conduct and over its failure to protect taxpayer dollars. Quite simply, this bill would require the IRS to report to…

The American people deserve and expect all IRS employees to abide by the Federal tax laws that the IRS is charged with administrating, period, end of story. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Mimi Walters).
