Some districts indicated that plans for capital spending had been scaled back or postponed as a result of uncertainty over trade policy.

I believe that the workforce and leadership currently in place--career IRS workers are absolutely world-class.

I do not think we should be putting Americans, and for that matter American multi-nationals, at a competitive disadvantage this way.

Many foreign financial institutions find this so cumbersome they simply refuse to provide banking systems to American citizens abroad.

There are still provisions that need rules for implementation.

The tax reform measure that we passed almost exactly 6 months ago is contributing, I think, enormously to a very, very good economic environment.

I think we need to be very concerned here that public companies in Europe are a much different animal than they are here in the United States.

If there is documented evidence that suggests that there is a category of criteria that promoting this category results in a lower return to investors, then anybody advising that would be failing to live up to their fiduciary obligations.

I can imagine--and I know of issues that are in the environmental and governance space that are also really ultimately social and culturally debated issues.

What concerns me is cases where maybe advisors or fund managers or minority activist investors are trying to use the corporate governance voting mechanism as a way to advance a social and cultural agenda that may be inconsistent with many…

It seems like a glaring conflict of interest if in fact they are receiving revenue or seeking revenue from a business, while at the same time advising investors how to vote the shares of a proxy.

The time has come to pass this legislation.

This is another bipartisan bill.

It is a narrow fix related to the demo days and their treatment under the JOBS Act.

This is a bipartisan bill.

I want to specifically encourage support for two bills that I have introduced with colleagues here.

I would urge my colleagues to support the legislation that Senator Corker and I have, which would restore to Congress the authority to make the final decisions about the imposition of those tariffs.

I wish we would stop invoking national security, because that is not what this is about.

Look, Richard Nixon was about to be impeached and he resigned because he used the CIA to tell the FBI to stop investigating Watergate.

I think this is simply making credit less available, especially to low-income borrowers, as long as this stands.

I have serious concerns about the administration's decision to use the pretext of a national security concern to raise taxes on imported steel and aluminum products.

Today's opioid and heroin epidemic is no different. Sadly, this is not the first time even our own Nation has found itself in the depths of a public health crisis.
