I am just honored to be on your side, because I am with the people, because as Members of Congress we are supposed to be working in the public interest, not the private gain.

We have requested records relating to GCS from you months ago. Why has the CFPB been so reluctant to provide records to Congress about a major allocation, $100 million dollars in funds?

The past several days, I had my first-ever tour of our southwest border. During my visit, I met with Border Patrol agents in New Mexico and Texas, as well as ranchers and business leaders on the border. Border security was a significant…

I thank Representative Black for her work on this subject. I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 43, a joint resolution to stop an Obama administration rule that will force States to send taxpayer dollars to abortion providers…

It is simple: this Congress has a responsibility. The Founders made us, this Congress--the House and the Senate--the stewards of this city, this beautiful Federal alabaster city. The Founders vested in us the exclusive legislative power…

I thank Representative Hartzler for coming to the floor tonight and speaking on this bill. It is interesting that legalizing assisted suicide can lead to an increase in suicide. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars in our country on…

I rise here tonight to raise a very serious and consequential issue that is taking place in our Nation's capital. Washington, D.C., our Federal city, the second hometown of every American, is just weeks away from implementing a deadly…

I thank Dr. Harris for taking a long, hard look at what is going to happen here in the District of Columbia if we do not bring H.J. Res. 27 to the floor to block this misguided legislation. Dr. Harris talked about compassion. Certainly, we…

I thank Representative Hice. Mr. Speaker, this law, the point about what is going to go on the death certificate, we have had a debate lately in our country about alternative facts, and here we have a law that says you can't say on the…

Dr. Wenstrup, I thank you for introducing this legislation and for having the courage to live the life you have lived in serving our Armed Forces overseas. I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Jody B. Hice) who co- chairs our Values…

We are all painfully aware that Washington's financial control law, Dodd-Frank, is full of provisions that have nothing to do with protecting consumers or preventing another financial crisis. The SEC rule in question today is no exception…

A little over a year ago, I took a mile- long, 30-minute ride with coal miners into a 3\1/2\-foot-high coal mine in the mountains of Pennsylvania. I was reminded that day about the incredible work ethic of the folks in western…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New Jersey, for more than three decades, has raised these issues in this very Chamber, speaking for those who are defenseless and voiceless. He speaks because he speaks…

I thank Chairman Goodlatte for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 26, the REINS Act. This bill is the beginning of making America great again. That is because it puts Americans back in charge of the laws being imposed…

Municipalities, universities, hospitals, and corporations are seeing their borrowing costs go up, and we can trace this directly to the dislocation caused by this rule.

The rule thwarts investor preference and effectively, in my opinion, subsidizes Fannie and Freddie and the Federal Government.

I have become concerned about the significant dislocation that we are seeing as a result of the regulatory changes.

Joe Pitts is a man whose faith and values, I believe, animate him to protect life in all its stages. Through his decades of service both in the military and public office-- and as a dedicated husband and dad--Congressman Joe Pitts has…

Today I rise to remember an outstanding member of the Sewickley, Pennsylvania, community: the late Regis Bobonis, who passed away this past November 25. This great American was a man of many firsts. He was the first African American news…

I don't think we can say that this rule is necessary or helpful.

community banks are closing or consolidating in a desperate effort to stay viable in the face of a swarm of new rules and regulations.

the result of that attitude has been the crafting of rules that systematically take a wrecking ball to one industry after another.

If you were 9 years old and homeless, how easy would it be to complete your homework assignment?

It is a huge moral issue and deserves a solution. You can't fix it unless you fix housing.

I cannot escape the fact that we simply don't have enough low-income housing. We don't have the units.
