I want to thank Congressman Perlmutter for his hard work on this. I am an unlikely person to support this bill because I am opposed to recreational marijuana, but I came to this because a company that is just outside my district that sells…

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 thank Ranking Member Graves for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this en bloc amendment. There is a lot of bipartisan support for an infrastructure bill, so it is a shame that today we are considering a…

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

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

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

I thank the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. David P. Roe) for yielding time. This bill is, indeed, a blending of a bill that Governor DeSantis had in the last Congress and a bill we had in the last Congress, and we now have 321 cosponsors on…

I thank Ranking Member Walden for yielding, and I commend him for his efforts to limit drug prices and continue innovation. I have a concern about the increased costs that both H.R. 3 and H.R. 19, as well as Senate proposals, could have on…

I want to, again, remind everybody that Republicans unanimously voted for a bipartisan version of Ex-Im authorization, the Waters-McHenry bipartisan compromise. Unfortunately, that deal isn't on the floor. We have a version that is under a…

First, I want to commend the gentlewoman from New York for her work on this. I think it is a great idea to have paid interns at the Ex-Im Bank. The sad part is it is not going to happen because this bill is not going to become law…

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.

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 thank the ranking member for yielding. I don't want to fall into revisionist history. I was one of the Republicans who signed the discharge petition against my own chairman and against my own leadership in 2014 and supported the Ex-Im…

I would like to thank the ranking member for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1595, the SAFE Banking Act. The bill provides a limited safe harbor for banks and credit unions to open and maintain accounts for…

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…

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

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.

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.
