Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 835, which encourages the development of new technologies that increase consumers' access to commerce and financial tools. This is an exciting time in American Commerce.

Each day, innovators are connecting consumers, industries, and markets through brand new technologies and connected devices. These new technologies will empower American consumers and our economy like never before. With innovations coming so rapidly, we need to ensure that these new technologies are not at the expense of consumer privacy and cybersecurity.

These resolutions would support American innovation in financial technology, transparency, security, and consumer empowerment while protecting consumers' personal information. By improving consumers' access to commerce through technological means, we can greatly improve the quality of life for future Americans.

I urge my colleagues to support this resolution so that our innovators can confidently take on the challenge of developing technology for tomorrow's marketplace
