I agree with you, Mr. Joyce. I have actually just I think last week, the week before, did one of the required Ethics trainings.

I think the multiple reviews are actually one of the things that makes it a better process.

I think two-thirds of the House is just a bar too high to get over.

I think the lack of congressional will to have a cost-of-living adjustment or somehow to compensate Members for cost.

I recognize the importance of protecting trade secrets and other intellectual property rights.

I think OEMs would be surprised maybe by how many independent repair shops... would be interested in purchasing that technology.

I believe this legislation is a beneficial starting point for discussions as to how to harmonize the needs of individual consumers and safeguarding American companies' intellectual property.

Last summer, I was proud to introduce the Fair Repair Act, which is broadly focused on enhancing FTC authority.

I think if you think about sort of the whole notion of capitalism is this ability to compete, and competition typically has two benefits. One is innovation, and two is downward pressure on price.

I also think, not only can you own it, can you repair it, you can also sell it.

I think if you are a farmer, you want to buy equipment and hopefully not just use it for the lease term of 5 years.

I have often thought, if you really wanted to extend that to consumers, you would allow any third-party repair shop... to say, okay, as long as you meet these standards, you are an authorized dealer.
