I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am heartbroken at the loss of Louise Slaughter, who was a dear friend and a beloved colleague. I first met Louise when she was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1982, and Eliot…

By one estimate, the American economy loses between $180 billion and $540 billion each year due to misappropriation of trade secrets.

This bipartisan legislation, which passed nearly unanimously, created the uniform Federal civil cause of action for misappropriation of trade secrets.

I am concerned about the issues underlying the reduction in residential re-entry centers has not been entirely resolved.

While I do not prejudge the merits of the proposed merger of CVS Health and Aetna, healthcare is an incredibly complex industry and we must consider carefully the potential impact of this transaction on competition and, ultimately, on…
