As someone who was on the battlefield of nearly every civil rights fight of the last century, Mr. John Lewis taught us that our Nation is always a work in progress, always perfecting our Union. Through it all though, regardless of what he…
I urge support of this package, which contains four amendments I have introduced. My first requires the Secretaries of Defense and State to investigate the use of social media platforms by foreign terrorists and to report to Congress on…
I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina. Mr. McHENRY. I commend Chairwoman Waters for bringing the three CEOs in.
Reclaiming my time. Just one question on that. Do you feel now that the three are still insecure? And are you concerned about them? Mr. McHENRY. For sure, for sure. That is why I want to get to a solution. This bill, sadly, incorporates…
Reclaiming my time. Yes, they also have a period of time to develop the site. It is not going to happen overall. In that period of time, we will get direction on what the best outcome is in terms of using a Federal identifier, and we will…
Reclaiming my time. Does the gentleman agree that we should have them back in immediately, again, to talk to them and find out if they have made progress? Mr. McHENRY. The point is, we could have had a massive vote on something that…
The whole point is that, because they are still insecure, we better let people actually have access to their data all the time. That is what this bill does, so they can find out, instead of having to pay 10 bucks or 15 bucks every time to…
I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina. Mr. McHENRY. What I am highlighting is the fact that, in one section of the bill, you have the study to say whether or not using Social Security numbers is good or bad. I think that is good…
I thank Mr. Riggleman for his points. He is a good friend, and I respect him deeply. I disagree here, respectfully. The whole point of this is to protect consumers. Giving consumers more data to have access to about themselves and to…
I thank the chairwoman for allowing me to speak today on behalf of my bipartisan legislation, H.R. 5332, the Protecting Your Credit Score Act of 2020. Madam Speaker, since I took office, I have been committed to helping protect seniors and…
Just one point I want to bring back up, if I may. I want to thank my friend for his comments, and I appreciate his work and our efforts together here. The one point about the Social Security number that I want to raise is, the bill…
Right, right. I remember that. Mr. McHENRY. We, on a bipartisan basis, beat them up, which is a rare thing in Congress. We beat them up because they had a massive data breach that exposed our data. That is why I sincerely wanted to get to…
I thank the chairwoman for her excellent leadership. I thank Mr. Roy for his great bipartisan work and my dear friend, colleague, and fellow problem solver, Dean Phillips, for his remarkable leadership on this important piece of…
This week, coronavirus impacted my north Jersey community in a heartbreaking way. Our thoughts are with the loved ones of Bergen County resident John Brennan, New Jersey's first life lost from coronavirus. Mr. Brennan was a lifetime horse…
Simply put, this problem will not fix itself, and we must take immediate action to help schools and communities nationwide address this urgent issue.
We should cut our taxes and claw more dollars back to the State, especially away from moocher States which take far more than they put in.
I call on you to include much-needed resources for communities in New Jersey and across America to identify and remove lead pipes in their water infrastructure.
Just as we focus on safe drinking water for our families and kids, we must also focus on ensuring bodies of water utilized for recreation and tourism are safe as well.
Every child deserves to drink water that's free of lead, and every parent deserves to know if their child's school has lead in their pipes, sinks, or water fountains.
I was proud that last Congress, a key piece of my bipartisan legislation, the Lead-Free Schools Act, was enacted into law.
This is not a partisan issue. I was proud to work with Democrats and Republicans to claw back needed resources to affected lakes in my district.
This morning, hardworking families across northern New Jersey woke up, made breakfast, and wished each other good-bye before leaving for work or school. But our thoughts are with one family that was unable to be together this morning, this…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In title V, add at the end the following: SEC. 503. REVIEW OF CHANGES TO CREDIT SCORING MODELS. Section 631…
