This proposal does not do anything to incentivize new housing units.

I think that speaks to the fact that as policymakers, we have been very reluctant to do targeted relief to specific industries.

Thank you for your steady hand of leadership during these very turbulent times.

The American financial markets, I believe, are the envy of the world, but they are still imperfect.

I am not going to back down from passing our bill, because I think it is really important.

I believe you can fix it. I know you can fix it.

I would urge you to increase that collaboration, because the lines between securities, banking, and capital markets are blurring more than ever before.

I am going to sound like a broken record here, but Republicans have supported, unanimously, a bill that was bipartisan, the Waters-McHenry deal that would have reauthorized the Bank. Unfortunately, we are not here debating that. We have a…

I claim time in opposition, although I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

Again, I rise in support of H.R. 3620. I want to commend the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Clay) for his incredible work on rural housing. As a congressman from a rural district, over 50 percent of my district is rural. This is going to…

I would like to close by thanking the gentleman from California for a bipartisan bill. I thank the gentleman from Wisconsin, Sean Duffy, from our side, the lead Republican on this bill. This is a bill that will get more appraisers in the…

Our veterans stepped forward and swore to defend our country and our values against all enemies.

I believe in second chances-but not in life or death situations.

We, as Members of Congress, must conduct vigorous oversight to determine how this could happen.

It should be Congress' top priority to pursue every avenue to disrupt the tragic links between the separation from service and mental health illness.

I will just urge you to not use this for social engineering but to use it to meet the intent that we talked about of helping the unbanked and helping people with cross-border payments.

If we are going to fight back, we need to recognize that modernizing and strengthening the Ex-Im Bank is part of what we have to do, and it is a national security issue.

I urge adoption of this bipartisan bill that passed unanimously in committee and in the House last year. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

I would close by saying that the gentleman from Georgia and the gentleman from California have worked very hard on a bill that passed our committee unanimously and that helps nonprofits accomplish their mission of building capacity in…

I also want to applaud Congresswoman Maloney for her dedication over the years in combating the use of shell companies by criminals, terrorists, and rogue nations.

While we may disagree about the best way to accomplish these things, we all want to keep money out of the hands of those who would cause us harm.

Homelessness in America is something we all should care about. It is a bipartisan issue, and we want to work with you to try to find solutions.

I think we need to transition there. There are lot of people left behind.

This center will serve as a civic landmark to honor, connect, and inspire and educate all Americans about the service and sacrifice of more than 22 million veterans in this country.
