It is important to note that violence against communities based on religious belief unfortunately affects people of many faiths in Nigeria.

The cost to the economy is enormous.

Mr. Gensler has made a really serious effort at messing them up.

We have a Gary Gensler problem; and we have a structural problem with the SEC.

This has been the most-aggressive rulemaking since Dodd-Frank.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has been hyper-aggressive compared to most agencies.

Today, what we are doing, we are demonstrating to the United States, to the country, that when it comes to issues of critical importance to American interests, Republicans and Democrats can come together to solve big problems.

I want to start by making clear that congressional support for Ukraine remains broad and bipartisan. We know, from previous votes on the floor amendments and the standalone bill on Ukraine funding, that assistance to Ukraine has…

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 Texas will be postponed. Amendment No. 10 Offered by Ms. Porter The Acting CHAIR. It is now…

This amendment would be counterproductive to America's interest. No President, whether he be Democratic or Republican, has used this waiver for anything but the most pressing reasons. Rescinding this waiver would likely prevent the…

I claim the time in opposition to this amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York for 5 minutes.

Let me just say this. Joe Biden has been one of the staunchest Israel supporters of any President of the United States. You are going to take the word of the Ayatollah over the word of the President of the United States? The President of…

This amendment is needless and simply not rooted in fact. The sponsor bases his claims for this amendment on the assertion that the administration has not condemned Houthi militants for their violent actions and continued destabilizing…

I will just simply say, very briefly, when you hear from Israel, its leaders, Israel's national security advisor publicly praising Qatar's role as crucial, and when I visited Israel and talked to the head of their defense, talked to Prime…

This amendment targets Qatar, the most important partner of the United States in freeing Americans and Israelis held hostage by Hamas. Passage of this amendment and, in my opinion, this overall bill would jeopardize sensitive, ongoing…

This amendment is counterproductive. The House has voted in a bipartisan manner to support general licenses to Iran to allow open internet access to the protesters against the regime of Iran. That could violate this vaguely drafted…

I strongly support this amendment. The United States must stand for humanitarian aid and must stand for helping the people of Iran, even while we condemn the Iranian governing regime. The regime's medieval views on women's rights and…

Let me just say this. First, the debate on the House floor today is a rare moment where the House Foreign Affairs Committee is debating legislation under a rule, rather than under suspension. For those who don't know what that means, it…

Let me say this: The United States has values. What is taking place and what took place in Israel and is taking place in Gaza right now is why we are fighting so hard to make sure that we have a supplemental that includes humanitarian aid…

Again, I haven't heard a reply. Not one penny has gone to Iran. If I am wrong, then someone tell me. Not one cent. The money is frozen in Qatar. Not one penny. None of this could have been used by Hamas, Iran, or anyone for October 7. They…

Let me just say that I keep hearing this demonstrates weakness. The Biden administration demonstrated strength in being willing to stand with your enemies and negotiate. I can recall, for me, even in our own country, what I learned to live…

Let me first start off by saying the President of the United States did the right thing. It is easy to say why we should vote against this bill. My good friend, the chairman, has talked about October 7 over and over. Our committee has had…

Our partners and allies are watching. The Ukrainians who have showed us all that freedom and democracy is worth protecting will continue to fight, but are watching.

This timely bill seeks to close that spigot as well. Importantly it requires the Administration to impose sanctions on any foreign person or institution supporting the concealing military pathway from North Korea to Russia's war in Ukraine.

In response the United States has led through its revitalized alliances and partnerships to impose severe costs on Russia and strengthen those relationships with friends of freedom and democracy.
