As prepared for delivery:
Good afternoon. It is no secret that Americans are rightfully frustrated with government overreach and overregulation. I've heard the concerns directly from my constituents in Oklahoma. The last thing people want is the heavy hand of the federal government burdening their families and businesses. Yet the Biden Administration has failed to take note. In their zeal to force their progressive vision onto the nation, Democrats have produced egregious regulation after regulation.
As prepared for delivery:
Good afternoon. Today we are considering a single item, H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
This bill is the culmination of bipartisan negotiations between President Biden and Speaker McCarthy to responsibly raise the debt ceiling while enacting significant spending cuts and reforms.
For months, despite repeated requests from Speaker McCarthy, President Biden, and Congressional Democrats refused to negotiate with House Republicans, insisting on nothing less than a clean debt limit hike.
As prepared for delivery:
Good afternoon. Today's hearing covers three items. The first I'll discuss is H.R. 467, the HALT Fentanyl Act.
There isn't a day that passes where one doesn't hear of a tragic story of a life taken by fentanyl. There is no state, district, or community that has not been touched by this scourge. This public health crisis has stolen hundreds of thousands of futures—and it's only getting worse.
