John Curtis

This site is important, and we need to make certain that this is a time when we are uniting all groups who worked on this site.

It is our hope that while we cannot change the past, we can write the future.

I was pleased to be asked by Chairman Bishop to be a co-sponsor of this, and that delights me.

I am really pleased to hear about the work that has taken place with that community.

I encourage my colleagues on this committee to support this critical legislation.

I am a strong supporter of the U.S.-Israeli alliance.

I want to thank Representative Ros-Lehtinen and Representative Deutch for their leadership in introducing this bill.

It remains imperative that the U.S. does its part to help our ally Israel protect itself from all threats.

As the Foreign Affairs Committee moves six bills forward with bipartisan support today, I want to speak specifically about H.R. 5141.

Thank you for helping me understand that as well as treating them equally with things like email addresses.

If we want them to be independent, if we want them to carry their weight in society, we have to pay a fair wage.

I think John has probably found this but they make people smile. And they make people happy.

It has been my experience that in Utah, your industry is overflowing with innovation and it is pretty amazing and fun to watch.

We must find a smoother transition to a lower-carbon economy.

I appreciate you going above and beyond the call of duty here.

I think it would be fantastic if I could go back and tell the good people of Moab that we are looking at those types of options, and at least considering technology to make that visitor experience valuable.

A bill introduced by Representative Curtis would expedite environmental reviews for broadband projects using existing operational rights of way on Federal lands.

The consumer is the loser in that scenario

It has been told to me that we are losing a number of these smaller institutions, and that concerns me

As I understand it, in Section 1002 of Dodd-Frank, it explicitly gives the CFPB the authority to exempt credit unions from certain regulations and smaller institutions.

Is it--I am told that sometimes these investigators are--they have quite a bit of leeway in what they go forward and what they look at.

As a former small business owner, I am aware of the difficulty of complying with some of these regulations and having the staff to meet those compliances.

I know--I would like to think I know how a lot of these businesses think, and you will not be surprised that many of them find institutions difficult to navigate.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out to all of us that we have more work to do.

I must admit, as I have listened to the testimony today, my heart has raced and my palms have grown sweaty because not too many years ago I was an owner of a small business.
