I thank the gentleman for yielding and thank him for bringing this before the body. Here is another example of the CFPB overregulating, trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I support this amendment, and I urge a…

I claim time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Jody B. Hice of Georgia). The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

Let me close by saying that we know there is some concern about redesignating the HUBZones, but we have listened, and I think it is best that we wait and let the authorizing committees of jurisdiction work through this issue; and so…

I thank the gentleman for bringing this amendment before us, and I urge everyone to support it. Mr. Chair, FSOC is there to mitigate risk, not to just go around looking for people to designate. In our underlying bill, we say that, before…

I want to thank the gentleman for bringing the amendment before us. This is a very good amendment. It keeps the SEC on track, it gets them focused on their core dual mission--investor protection and capital formation. I urge a ``yes'' vote.

I would really like to thank the gentleman for bringing this motion to recommit to increase funding for the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence by $5 million because it makes an excellent point as to why this bill is such a good…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I want to thank her for bringing this before the body tonight, and urge its adoption. This underlying bill talks about the CFPB, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We have talked about it a…

I have been looking at this amendment and what it says is that none of the funds made available by this act may be used in contravention of section 317 of the Communications Act. This says that you can't do anything against what the law…

The majority and the minority have agreed to these amendments en bloc. They are noncontroversial amendments that affect a variety of topics, such as whistleblower protection, property disposal, and reducing drug trafficking. Additionally…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in support of this, and thank the gentleman for bringing this before the House. We have an administration that just loves to regulate. They love to regulate. They have rules for everything. They…

I hope the FCC got the urge. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Yarmuth). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced…

Nobody wants to reward bad actors. Let me just say that payday lending today is regulated at the State level. My home State of Florida has one of the most progressive and effective small-dollar-lending loan statutes in the country. It has…

Let me thank the gentleman for bringing this issue forward and thank him for the hard work that he has spent trying to let everyone know how important this is. As he pointed out, the proposed rule before the SEC would allow mutual funds…

I thank the gentleman for bringing this issue up, and I thank him for his work in other areas of the financial services industry. I know he is one of the hardworking Members who cares about what happens and about making sure that we keep…

This amendment is duplicative and ignores the existing contractor award system that we already have in place. Contracting officers must already consult the system for award management to ensure a contractor can be awarded a contract…

I wish it were as simple as the gentleman suggests. But it is important to realize this amendment would literally reduce almost every program in the CDFI. And remember, these funding cuts would devastate some of our Nation's most…

First, let me say that the IRS made a real mess of this 501(c)(4). You remember, that was the section of the Code that they used to single out individuals and groups of individuals based on their political philosophy, then they went around…

We are not here to debate the merits of the net neutrality rule. Everybody knows how controversial it was. It has been pointed out there are 4 million objections or supporters. I don't know how they were split, but there were millions for…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Woodall). The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

For 9 years arbitration agreements have been legal, and they have been upheld by the courts. They provide an alternative method of resolving disputes. They are quicker and cheaper than the slow, more expensive court system. The provision…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Minnesota will be postponed. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 5 printed in House…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendments. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

This amendment would strike one of the very best and most important provisions of the bill, that is, putting the CFPB under the appropriations process. That is number one. It also would strike a provision of the current law, which merely…

The bill before us today takes a measured approach to the Securities and Exchange Commission. A lot of people don't realize that that agency has received some of the largest increases over the last decade that a lot of agencies wish they…

I think most of us would hope that we won't ever need to use the draft again, but I think the agency is an important insurance policy that we can use against unforeseen threats. In an emergency, in a wartime situation, the effects of this…
