I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I think I laid out our arguments, and I think it is irresponsible to repeal this authority…

We must explore an alternative approach to BSA/AML/KYC and the sanctions regime so that we can have a flexible, targeted, and effective approach.
