The Export-Import Bank, in your testimony, has a default rate of 0.194 percent, which is less than one-fifth of 1 percent.

President Reagan saw the value in the Bank in assisting American businesses to compete abroad and supported expanding it.

I want to associate myself with the remarks of Mr. Connolly of Virginia.

At no cost to the taxpayer?

The world market is not a level playing field, and the Bank is absolutely vital for companies involved in the global economy.

I do hope the chairman will join with me and other Republican and Democratic members who are calling for a reauthorization of a bank that supports U.S. jobs.

In my district alone, I'm very happy that the Bank supports 10 companies and 639 jobs.

If we don't level the playing field for our companies, our companies and our workers face unfair disadvantage.

Calling the Bank corrupt for crimes committed against it is what we call blaming the victim.

This hearing seems to be designed to influence this important upcoming vote with propaganda and political theater.

And I say this because about an hour ago somebody walked into the Cannon House Office Building with a handgun.

Speaking of things that would be nice to know and things not disclosed, Mr. Koskinen, I asked the chairman of this full committee who the witnesses are supposed to be next Wednesday from the IRS.

Knowing that there are over 4,000 staffers and interns at risk here on the House side of the Capitol...

I think it is important that we don't lead the public down the wrong path on what the truth is here.

I believe that these repeated hearings that we are seeing today are both an abuse of authority and a dereliction of this committee's duty.

I want to mention here that the inspector general's report found that Lois Lerner... did not discover the use of these inappropriate criteria until a year later.

We all really want to know what happened to those missing emails, all of us.

I want to note that the chairman of the full committee was highly critical of our fellow member, Mr. Horsford.

I don't believe there is any merit at all.

There was no problem, particularly. That was the law.

Citizens United is the law of the land.

It should. He is the President of the United States, President of the greatest country in the world.

As a basic matter, it can, certainly.

No, Mr. Cartwright, not at all. This is not something we would be doing.

I just find it stunning that she would be picked. Out of the full universe of available Federal prosecutors, to pick a maxed-out donor I just think was very short-sighted.
