I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Line 6 on the first page, strike ``No'' and insert ``Except as provided in subsection (c), no''. After line 18 on…

My amendment would exempt pay equity lawsuits arising from title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Equal Pay Act. Today, the wage gap for women is a very real experience, not only for those women, but for families in the United States…

I appreciate my colleague for that exhaustive explanation and definition of scope. Common sense just ain't common, so we cannot rely on common sense. I just want to say that the courts already require a plaintiff seeking class action…

I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Wisconsin will be postponed. {time} 1100 Amendment No. 7 Offered by Ms. Maxine Waters of…

Over the years, I have heard some rather absurd comments from my Republican colleagues about abortion. Some have compared Planned Parenthood to drug dealers, abortion factories, and the Ku Klux Klan. I have even heard grown men debate…

I must tell you how disappointed I am that we are not starting the new year here with fresh, new, bipartisan initiatives to create jobs and to move our economy forward. I just feel like this is for auld lang syne. This is our 62nd vote to…

I thank the ranking member. Mr. Chairman, I do rise to oppose H.R. 1737. I have listened very carefully to my colleagues, and I am very sympathetic and empathetic to their desire to help their auto dealers. Too bad this legislation doesn't…

Does anyone in America think that Congress is going to be more confident at conducting monetary policy than an independent central bank? Let me remind you, under the stewardship of the Republican leadership of this House, we have seen…

As the ranking member of the Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 3189. Sometimes you can disagree on a bill, and it doesn't really make much difference. But this bill is extremely dangerous for many…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 511. When Congress originally passed the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, Congress exempted Federal, State, and local governments from the…

On rollcall Nos. 629 and 630, had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' and ``no.'' ____________________

I do want to thank the chairman for his patience in getting this over the line. Hopefully, the Senate will see it our way this time. I also want to thank the ranking member, Ms. Waters, for her diligence in working to get this legislation…

This bill, which Mr. Sherman and Mr. Posey have worked so diligently on, brings parity among State law, Federal bank holding company laws, and now the savings and loan holding companies. It clarifies that the FDIC's backup receivership…

I am so happy to join the chairman of the Financial Services Committee and Ms. Sinema in overwhelmingly supporting H.R. 3032. This bill, of course, will relieve the SEC from unnecessary administrative burdens and enable the already…

We understand that FHFA Director Watt is doing everything in his power to conserve the assets of the GSEs. However, I agree with the chairman, Mr. Hensarling, that we disagree that the CEOs of these two companies in conservatorship, whose…

This has been misnamed as a transparency bill. It is not a transparency bill. This cost benefit bill literally is a race-to-the-courthouse bill, and we would just be in an endless litigious position. We are already late with the…

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 Iowa will be postponed. Announcement by the Acting Chair The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to…

I appreciate the fact that the gentleman has claimed that he is restricting this to the highway bill; but, again, it is problematic because it would really impose cost-benefit analyses on all rulemaking under the highway bill, as amended…

This amendment would not only undo all of Dodd-Frank but all financial market regulations past, present, and future. I support the cost-benefit analyses mandates that are already contained in Federal securities laws and in President…

I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR (Ms. Foxx). The gentlewoman from Wisconsin is recognized for 5 minutes.

I want to thank the ranking member. Here we have another Delta amendment once again. The Ex-Im Bank already, Mr. Chairman, has a process in place for providing public notice and comment. Companies can provide feedback, which the board…

I, too, oppose this amendment. This amendment incorrectly presumes that sovereign wealth funds have some special linkage to export financing. Sovereign wealth funds do not have a direct link to export credit financing. The gentleman is…

I thank the ranking member. I want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for accepting my amendments on the DBE prompt payment issue, and to allow teen driving safety grants to be used to help fund school-based driver's education to…

These amendments are getting more and more strange as the evening wears on. The favorite indictment of this Bank, I think, is that it picks winners and losers, and yet here is an amendment that does exactly that. It puts these artificial…

Will the Chair advise me as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Wisconsin has 3 minutes remaining.
