National security in 2023 is not the same as it was in 1993, or for that matter, in 2003.

The threats we face are evolving and becoming more complex.

I agree with Senator Rubio: too many of our corporate world still believes that these collaborations inside of China are benign.

I personally believe the value of 702, but we're going to have to lean in on being willing to have the same kind of courage of declassification that we showed in advance of Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

I am a big believer and I know some of my colleagues are that we ought to look less at charter and look at same regulation maybe as a guiding principle.

I do think even some of the biggest critics of Dodd-Frank I think would acknowledge that our banking system is a heck of a lot stronger.

We have seen activity using the Secretary of Commerce's tools to go after some of the companies in China on the entities list, and now many of us are concerned about the notion of communication firms like TikTok and the potential of taking…

I want to talk about how we can limit foreign technology in the United States, because I do think the technology competition, particularly with China, over the balance of this century is going to be where our futures are going to be…

Meeting taxpayers where they are is an important aspect of providing world-class customer service and bettering the taxpayer experience.

We did not do a very good job during COVID.

I think the reinvestment in the IRS is extraordinarily important.

There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that crypto promotes financial inclusion, and in fact there is overwhelming evidence that suggests the exact opposite is happening.

I am really concerned about the potential for these highly volatile assets and risky assets to get into our financial system.

I think it is also a good reason to be wary about the risks that this growth poses to consumers and to our economy.

If we could combine that supply with some of our existing tools but also with some level of downpayment assistance, you have got a great retention tool, you have a benefit to workers in distressed communities.

I strongly support all three of these.

I think there is a number of our colleagues on the Republican side that are interested on the supply issue around the tax credit.

I think we think about wealth gap, creating that equity in an attainable manner is, I think, at least part of the solution.

Nothing would be worse than doing a relatively good job--and we maybe overdid it in certain parts on Dodd-Frank--but put a structure our regulated industry, and suddenly see this huge escape of financial activity going outside any kind of…

I do think it is curious that China has made the decision to basically take that kind of risk to bank crypto.

I am all for innovation, but Lord knows, if crypto was suddenly followed by a whole series of fintech entities that were coming back saying, 'Hey, I need my money back as well. I did not get my lending that was taking place on this…

I guess what I would raise for the Chairman and the Ranking Member is, you know, I am still trying to wrestle with this in my mind whether we need a crypto set of rules or whether we frankly--what are we, 14 years after Dodd-Frank?--ought…

In light of these reports, the Committee will hold further funding for this program in abeyance until the Department provides the Committee with a detailed written accounting of the policies and procedures that have been put in place to…

It is shocking that a program this expensive and supposedly this critical to antiterrorism efforts has been run so haphazardly.

Until it can be established that all of the recommendations in this report have been implemented, the program should be suspended and all dogs returned to the United States.
