Political Quotes

On the recordJune 14, 2016
Really quickly, on the IRS bill, it is already the interpretation of the Federal district court that these contributions should not be made public; that donor lists should not be made public because people have a right to free association and free speech. These are constitutional rights. So to argue that this information that is not allowed to be made public is somehow going to lead to a flood of foreign money, is nonsense. Also, again, I will reiterate that the Bank Secrecy Act is in place to make sure that that does not happen. So I just wanted to quickly dispel with that. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter), who is a distinguished member of the Homeland Security Committee.
