The real question here is at the point where the scam is initiated, or at the point where the victim is coming into the bank, it is at the moment before that actual transfer of cash, that appears to be from everyone's testimony the very…
I thank Mr. Terry, Ms. Schakowsky. They have been leaders on senior fraud issues and protecting seniors in general.
Are there things that we can do that would help the wire transfer company? That would help the banks? That would help the Price Choppers?
To my colleague and my chair on the subcommittee, thank you for your fine leadership and for your leadership on this legislation as well. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to support H.R. 1580. As my colleague mentioned, it is a bill to affirm the…
Climate change, in my view, is real, it's urgent, and we must make progress or ignore it at our peril. But whether we agree or disagree, whether you're a climate change believer or denier, there are things that we can do together for the…
Regrettably, some have made up myths about the program to score political points.
We have a national commitment to ensure every American has access to the communications services they need to fully participate in our economy and democracy.
The Lifeline program must be reformed and modernized in a responsible manner, and it must account for the Internet and innovation economy.
I believe strongly that Americans in rural areas of our Nation need access to communication services just as much as my constituents in LA.

The ocean levels are rising. The ice cap is melting. Severe storms, more intense and more frequent. Climate change is real, not that you'd know it in this body. We're still having a debate about the reality. This is a fact-free zone in…
I thank the gentleman, and I thank Mr. Ryan. The focus and goal of this budget, as I understand it, is to eliminate the debt. That's a worthy goal. In fact, we all share it. But this budget, in my view, lacks ambition for other challenges…
These are credibility questions, but there's also an economic policy question. There are two assumptions in this budget. One is that austerity will lead to prosperity, that getting the debt down by any means possible and any cuts possible…
I am asking you what are the things that we are doing or policy-wise that are getting in the way of you being able to succeed in taking on that challenge?
It is terrific of the Chair to have this hearing because it is tough to get a hearing before this committee and subcommittee.
I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, this is not a perfect bill. This is a disgraceful bill. And this process is not on the level. Yesterday, Wall Street celebrated its highest close in history. And today it's going higher. A few years ago…
I believe it is the case that these investments have been enabled, to some extent, by public resources including the Universal Service Fund and the RUS loans.
