I thank my colleague from Florida (Mr. Ross) for leading the fight on this issue, and also for the support across the aisle on this issue. Mr. Ross' bill corrects another oversight of the Dodd-Frank Act by reforming the nonbank SIFI…

Thank you, Mr. Mulvaney, as well. I appreciate all you do for service in this Nation and your vision for the CFPB is one that I support, transparency and objectivity.

regulation in this space is something that the U.S. we have to get right because poor or rushed policy with respect to cryptocurrency and tokens, in my opinion, it really threatens America's leadership in finance and in technology.

I thank my friend from Georgia for leading on this issue. I rise today in strong support of his bipartisan bill, the Comprehensive Regulatory Review Act. It strikes me as common sense that Federal regulators should review their regulations…

It is not every day that I get to speak on behalf of someone who has changed the lives of millions of people across the globe, but today, I do. Billy Graham, who passed away last week, was known as America's pastor, and rightly so. When I…

I thank my friend and colleague from Virginia for yielding. I really thank him for his leadership on this issue. The last time I spoke on this floor on immigration, I talked about three principles: One, Americans have the right to…

I thank the chairman and my friend and colleague from North Carolina, the deputy whip, for his leadership on this very important issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this bipartisan legislation, the Protecting Consumers'…

While many of us in this body disagree on the issue of abortion, we should all be able to agree that, once a child is born, he or she deserves protection. If a doctor attempts to perform an abortion, sometimes a baby actually escapes and…

Last year, we voted on a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks. While I supported that bill, many of my colleagues chose not to, but I urge them to at least support this commonsense bill to protect the lives of abortion survivors.

I thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Garrett) for organizing this in support of those protesters in Iran. It is the ongoing protests that started late last month in Iran that are significant not just for their people, but also for the…

Our policemen and -women wake up every day and do a job that is dangerous and often thankless. They are truly servants of the public and protectors of those who cannot help themselves. If that weren't enough, I wanted to speak briefly…

I thank the chairman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Mr. Williams' legislation, H.R. 4324. I want to thank him for his leadership on this front. Mr. Speaker, it is no secret that much of the terror funding and…

I thank the chairman for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the gentlewoman from New York's legislation, H.R. 3971, and I thank her for her leadership on this very important issue. As many of my friends here…

On July 1 of 2015, Kate Steinle was walking with her father on a pier in San Francisco. While she was on the pier, she was shot to death by an illegal immigrant who had been deported five times. He had been convicted of seven felonies…

I thank the chairman for yielding. I thank my friend, the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr), for his leadership on this vital issue. Mr. Speaker, in regulation and in life, one size simply does not fit all. A requirement that works for…

Just last week, Egypt experienced the worst terror attack in its country's history. Islamic terrorists set off explosives that took over 300 innocent lives and injured over 100 more. What made this tragedy even worse is that it happened at…

The House just only moments ago passed historic tax reform. I am proud to have supported it. In conference, we will have the opportunity to improve the bill. There is one issue I would like to raise for them: closing the Bermuda loophole…

I thank my friend, the gentleman from Louisiana, for yielding. Madam Speaker, as my colleagues in this body know very well, it has been many years since we have reformed our Tax Code. Over the last few decades, Congress has cut some taxes…

Reforming our Tax Code isn't an easy thing to do. If it was, we would have done it at some point in the last 30 years. But here is the reality: because of high-powered lobbyists and special interests within a 5-mile radius of this body, we…

this past July, my colleague from Arizona, Ms. Sinema, and I introduced the National Strategy for Combating Terrorist, Underground, and Other Illicit Financing Act.

My only fear is that I would check in but never leave.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Encouraging Public Offerings Act, a bill that the gentleman from New York (Mr. Meeks) and I have worked on together, and I thank him for that. I also thank the…

What has infuriated the people I serve in North Carolina is they really didn't volunteer to have their data stored at your company.

The Founding Fathers enshrined the guarantee of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They regarded life as a core promise and one that was to be protected. The Federal Government is responsible for protecting those rights, and…

A couple of things. I look at this, and this still allows funding of existing projects and infrastructure, but it also reduces the deficit, too. And I want to quote the Eno Center for Transportation here: ``It is obvious from the beginning…
