“The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 8466 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1.”

“Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support H.R. 8467, the Zeroing Out Monetary Benefits Improperly Expended Act, which reforms the Payment Integrity Information Act to refocus Federal agencies on proactively identifying and preventing improper payments before they happen, rather than wasting resources on backward-looking compliance activities.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 8463, the Pre-Payment Fraud Prevention and Treasury Data Access Act. I have no further speakers. I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.”

“Mr. Speaker, fraudsters are robbing the American people. In Ohio, hundreds of shell companies, operating out of empty office buildings, billed the Federal Government for over $250 million for home health services that couldn't even be verified.”

The reality, which we all know because it is self-evident, is that when a criminal is in jail, by definition, they are not committing crimes on our streets and not terrorizing innocent Americans.”

“Mr. Speaker, tonight is the culmination of months of work from House Republicans to defund leftwing state-sponsored media outlets like NPR.

“Mr. Speaker, the Texas Hill Country is well-known as one of the most beautiful regions in the State and it just witnessed one of the most horrific disasters in our State's history.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to Democrats trying to give voting rights to illegal aliens. Mr. Speaker, once again, Democrats are taking the 20 percent side on another 80-20 issue.”
