The House Financial Services Committee, in conjunction with the Judiciary Committee, has been engaging in an investigation in regard to bank settlement agreements that were reached that created a slush fund to drive money to third-party…

First, I want to thank Chairman Crenshaw for yielding and engaging in this colloquy and for all his hard work on the Appropriations Committee, and specifically on Financial Services, as he navigates this last, final bill through the House…

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 8, line 21, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $20,748,545)''. Page 8, line 23, after the…

Absolutely I think Saul Alinsky would have been proud at the Democrats who took over the House floor last night and our founders were rolling in their graves.

We have to be careful to not take paint brushes and tar and feather an entire religion.

But, what concerns me, Anderson, is the tragedy in Orlando which is about Islamic radical terrorism, has been morphed into a greater gun debate Democrats have been working on for 10 years.

I thank Congressman Bishop and the whole Natural Resources Committee for all of the hard work they put into this bill. This has been a months-long process of working with Democrats and Republicans, the administration, Treasury, Puerto…

I appreciate the comments by Chairman Chabot, and I would just note that I know his committee hasn't had oversight hearings on this issue. The GAO has done extensive studies, and the Small Business Administration has not implemented those…

PROMESA is not a bailout, despite misleading advertisements to the contrary.

I urge you to vote in favor of PROMESA in order to create a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico.
