The distinction between the two is becoming clear. I know these hearings should be about real policy issues and not about politics, but apparently what I am hearing--and you are subject to it--you are just hearing the differences, where…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York will be postponed. Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Johnson of Georgia The Acting…

Let me say, first of all, this bill is not going anywhere, fortunately, because this deceptively named Separation of Powers Restoration Act is something that really would hurt America and the American people. So I urge to let's make the…

Let me start by saying straight out that I do not support the underlying bill. I encourage my colleagues to support my amendment that would lessen the negative budget impact of this bill and exempt any rules issued by the Department of…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 11, insert after ``extent necessary'' the following ``, and except as otherwise provided in…

I am really disappointed that we have been so divided that we will end up accomplishing here nothing at all.

I would admit that there are no perfect bills and we can make improvements to all bills, including Dodd-Frank.

For several months now, I have been calling for us to rethink, and I do think we need to rethink, on how banking in the Community Reinvestment Act, CRA, should be regulated because much has changed over the last 40 years since this law was…

I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous question. It has nothing to do with the bad bill, as indicated. Mr. Speaker, for years Democrats in this House and a majority of the American people have demanded a vote on gun safety…

I am here today simply because it is time. It is time to save lives. It is time to close the gun show and Internet loophole. It is time to make sure if you are on the no-fly list, you can't buy a gun in America. It is time for the American…

I think that is a direction that we still need to move in, and I think it is tremendously important.

We have got to figure this out. Russia is one of them. Turkey is the other.

To cast off and say that we shouldn't talk to one country or another just does not make sense in this day and age.

I consider myself a multilateralist, and I believe that diplomacy is the best way to try to resolve things.

It wasn't the United States that invaded Eastern Ukraine. It wasn't the United States that, you know, when they talk about Georgia and other countries in the region.

But the new Ukrainian Government will never be able to meet the rightful demands of its citizens without the West's economic and political support.

The American public really doesn't understand the significance and the importance of the work that you do

Yes, the reform of the economy must be done by the Ukrainians themselves following successive governments' failure to reform.

I cannot stress enough the importance of the countries that are not in the spotlight in today's news cycle.

I want to thank you, Chairman Rohrabacher. Thank you very much for, first of all, for holding this hearing...

I am convinced that our reactions should be a deepening of our ties regionally and multilaterally.

We must have regressed in Central and South America.

When we act out of fear our nation has made monumental mistakes.

We ought to be concerned about all of those lives, not just in one area.

I am shocked here we are in 2016 and there is still redlining going on, and that redlining especially in the mortgage lending and the steering of consumers in high-cost loans.
