From volume I, page 14, section 2, entitled: ``Russian `Active Measures' Social Media Campaign,'' it read as follows: ``The IRA''--which was a Russian troll farm. ``The IRA and its employees began operations targeting the United States as…

Please be clear. We will not go gently into the night on the issue of how it is we protect the servicemembers, the people who put on uniforms and put themselves in harm's way on our behalf every single day, nor their families, especially…

I have always thought and lived with the irony that the same Nation that asked my brother to put on a uniform and put his life at risk in an activity that eventually did, in fact, take his life held him to be a criminal when he found…

Nearly every witness today has testimony about the dangerous position we put store owners and their employees in by forcing them to do all of their business in cash.

But today, after 6 years, we finally have a hearing. And it comes too late.

We have introduced this bill and pounded the table and warned about the risk to public safety from all-cash businesses.

However the chairman has journeyed to his conclusion, it is deeply appreciated. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes,'' and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 67, line 12, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $500,000)(increased by $500,000)''. The…

I thank the chairwoman very much for acknowledging this problem and for her commitment to work to address it. Over the summer, I will work with relevant stakeholders, including the authorizing committees, the Secretary of Defense, and the…

I thank the ranking member. I do indeed rise to engage in a colloquy with the gentleman from Kentucky. The bill we are considering today, unlike the Senate CFIUS bill, does not have specific language dealing with board seats. That…

The Amtrak Cascades crash was preventable, as were over 150 other rail accidents the NTSB has investigated.

Passing this legislation would send a clear message that there is no need for us ever to have this conversation again.

I support legislation from Ranking Members DeFazio and Capuano, which would provide the funding railroads across the country need to complete PTC on their routes.

If it does cut the legs out from JCPOA, as is its purpose, as is clear, then, of course, we are back on the track of Iran developing nuclear weapons as North Korea has. Fewer jobs and less safe; not sure what it is about that proposition…

I would be more receptive if I didn't think the system was working quite well to protect consumers in my State.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

We cannot have conflicting laws at the Federal level that conflict with a proven functional State system regulatory body.

I support State-based regulation because it works. I think it is the best way to provide the best business environment, the best way to protect consumers.

We should be skeptical of global regulatory uniformity for uniformity's sake.

We view the FIO as unnecessary. It performs many redundant functions better left to the States.

I believe in one thing: State-based regulation works, and it should be protected.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 348, line 18, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $3,800,000)''. Page 447, line 13, after…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 270, line 22, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $500,000)''. Page 273, line 1, after the…

Many of us share your commitment to providing for both prudential protections as well as consumer protections, as well as enabling the free flow of credit, but with a belief on our part that could be done with a bit of a lighter touch.

Congress needs to make statutory changes to the Federal Credit Union Act in order to achieve a fair system.
