It is a privilege and an honor to be representing the First Congressional District of New Hampshire, where the first ever credit union was founded in the United States.

I do believe that the first step to reform is transparency.

It is time to open up the books and take a look at what the Fed is doing.

If our growth rate under President Obama was simply average, it has been reported that our GDP would be $1.9 trillion larger today.

I have clearly seen the harmful effects of Dodd-Frank and the effects that it has had on community financial institutions.

I thank the chairman, and I look forward to working with him on this particular issue as it is important and critical to New Hampshire. I recognize the differences between the East and the West and the challenges that we do face…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the following new section: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by…

Ironically, they are the agency that is supposed to protect consumers, but the guidance would in fact, in my view, harm them.

It has been over 2 years now since the CFPB issued their flawed auto lending guidance, a guidance that was issued without allowing a public comment period, which I find a bit unusual.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 14, line 1, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $70,000,000) (increased by $70,000,000)''. The Acting CHAIR…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 3, line 10, insert after the dollar amount the following: ``(reduced by $5,000,000)''. Page 42, line 24, insert after…

Did unions get special treatment in this bailout, yes or no?

I find it somewhat offensive that people in this Committee... feel that only the Federal Government could act to save the private sector.

I think we have to be honest; it is all about politics, it has always been all about politics.

This legislation would recognize the work and dedication of the Missing in America Project, in cooperation with numerous veterans service organizations, in identifying unclaimed remains of veterans.

I don't support what the President did. I have looked at this issue. I have spent quite a bit of time looking at precedent, and I think this President in this circumstance overstepped his authority.

I think it is better to err on the side of caution and be over-transparent than under-transparent.

I think that is the direct nexus to job creation, whether it is in my home State of New Hampshire or anywhere in the country.

This is exactly what spurs the entrepreneurship, the innovation and the ability to create an idea and bring it to market.

I think the chairman's bill makes a lot of sense at $5 million instead of $1 million, which is what the President is looking for.

I applaud the President for finally recognizing that regulatory red tape has kept American startups from raising capital and hiring workers.

I think we all have an obligation to ensure that the country trusts what this new entity is going to do.

It is our responsibility as Americans to lead by example, to ensure that the American dream is alive and well.

I think it is imperative and important for us to make sure that we have rules in place that allow a level playing field.

I wish this wouldn't have to be described as a battlefield. Rather than that, I would like to see a more productive manner in which we could solve the Nation's problems.
