Bob Goodlatte

May I ask how much time is remaining on each side. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining, and the gentlewoman from Maryland's time has expired.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…

We are very dedicated to searching for the right answers for how to get accurate information as quickly as possible.

There are few issues more important than making sure that innocent arrestees are promptly released and that culpable suspects are not re-released to strike again.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for holding this hearing and for introducing H.R. 320, the Rapid DNA Act.

Mergers should not be treated differently depending on which agency happens to review it.

I sincerely hope that we can work to find an evenhanded solution that promotes competition in the market and protects the public interest.

Parties to mergers should receive comparable treatment and face similar burdens, regardless of whether the FTC or the DOJ reviews the merger.

I have no speakers remaining, and I am prepared to yield back. I reserve the balance of my time.

I have only one speaker remaining. I believe I have the right to close, so if the gentlewoman has additional speakers, I reserve the balance of my time.

At this time it is my pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot), a member of the Judiciary Committee and chairman of the Small Business Committee.

I thank the gentleman for his concern about this. I want to assure the gentleman that the language in this is designed to make it clear that it applies to donations and not to anybody who is a victim of a lawsuit where redress is sought…

I thank the chairman and the ranking member. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Virginia? There was no objection. Amendment Offered by…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to welcome all of today's witnesses.

It is critical that we make permanent the Internet Tax Freedom Act once and for all to protect consumers and maintain growth and grow access to the Internet.

We need to keep it affordable so that Americans of all backgrounds can access the Internet rather than adding to the already huge burden faced by taxpayers.

I am a strong supporter and a proud cosponsor of the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act introduced by Chairman Goodlatte.

The unifying theme of this legislative hearing is 'No Regulation Without Representation.'

The Business Activity Tax Simplification Act restores physical presence...

This is precisely the sort of protectionism that the commerce clause is intended to prevent.

It is my pleasure to yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from South Dakota (Mrs. Noem) who has also contributed a major piece of the legislation before the House today.

At this time, it is my pleasure to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin).

I, too, would like to join the gentleman from Texas in thanking the gentlewoman from New York for her good work on this for a long time now, and to thank the ranking member of the Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations…

At this time, it is my pleasure to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe), a member of the Judiciary Committee and a champion in the fight against child sex trafficking and the author of one of the underlying pieces of…
