There are more than 30 million small businesses all across this country. We call them the backbone of our national economy.

Yesterday, this committee in a bipartisan manner passed the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act of 2019.

There are other important matters within the purview of the Justice Department and within the oversight responsibilities of this committee besides fishing expeditions, trying to get the goods on this President in an apparent effort to…

Now that the Federal Government has reopened, many small businesses are wondering what is next.

I think all the witnesses have indicated why we want to avoid another shutdown occurring in the very near future because these things impact the economy.

While government shutdowns often prompt people and politicians alike to assign blame, I hope that today we can put those differences aside.

The partial government shutdown left many small businesses in a state of uncertainty, and it is important that we address how quickly we can bring the small business economy back up to speed.

The first, the minority will continue to have control of fully a third of the Committee's budget.

This package provides continued protection for the rights of the minority, now that we are in the minority.

I want to thank you and your staff for working so collaboratively on the Committee rules package.

We have worked together in a very bipartisan manner at nearly every step of the way and I want to thank her for continuing this tradition.

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. And as we begin I want to mention, as you did, that Chairwoman Velazquez and I have served on this Committee for over 20 years together.

If Democrats want to truly work on true campaign finance transparency, H.R. 1 would require all donations to federal candidates to be disclosed.

Not only is this system cloaked in darkness, it is abusive.

These provisions are not just anti-democratic. They are patently, patently unconstitutional.

H.R. 1 overrides those votes and their communities.

I am sad to say that H.R. 1 is also a 'For the Violent Criminals Act.'

I am prepared to close. I have no further speakers. Mr. Speaker, again, I want to thank Dr. Marshall as well as Mr. Schneider for their work and their leadership on this important legislation. This bill brings the dollar amount of sole…

I have no further speakers, so I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, again, I thank the gentlewoman for working with us on this. The SBIC program invests in small firms across the country, providing them with the working capital they need…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I also urge the administration and the Senate to make determinations similar to the one in this resolution so that we send a clear, unequivocal message to the Burmese Government and to the…

I recognize and thank the gentleman, Mr. Neal, for his leadership, as well. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner).

This travesty; this horrific, ongoing saga continued, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people perished as a result.

As a co-sponsor of this legislation I think it's vitally important that as the memory of the Soviet Union fades, we must not forget the victims of communism.

Maduro has uprooted any semblance of democracy from Venezuela and plunged his country into its worst economic crisis ever.

The gentlewoman is correct. This outreach to tribes shall be conducted in the same manner as the Blue Alert program, yes.
