Work Still to Be Done in the 118th Congress

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, as we begin our brief Special Order tonight, just to kind of highlight some of the things going on, House Republicans are working very hard through the end of the 118th Congress to push several pieces of legislation that deliver results for Americans and reflect on our conservative agenda.

This week, we are championing bills that support our small businesses and protect our schools from communist propaganda. Across the country, small businesses are struggling with burdensome red tape and Federal regulations. This week, House Republicans are bringing to the floor Congressman Finstad's Prove It Act, which will support our small businesses by enhancing the integrity and transparency of our regulatory processes, reduce red tape, and drive our economy forward.

We have seen this over and over again. The American people decided in November that they wanted to push our economy toward the upward mobility that we need, and the key aspect of this is making sure that we have the proper regulatory reform in place.

This is one excessively burdensome area remaining from the current administration, and we look forward to taking a bill like this and driving it to its fate and getting things accomplished in the coming months.

We are also supporting Congresswoman Salazar's Crucial Communism Teaching Act to provide civic education curricula and educational materials for middle and high school students about the dangers of communism and totalitarianism.

I am grateful for my colleagues for joining me this evening to discuss these important measures.

Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I will close as I reiterate, at the close of the 118th Congress--and what a historic Congress it has been-- we are trying to finish this out with doing some of the core things that are necessary.

We are working hard on making sure our defense capabilities are intact. That will be something that we are highlighting for the next coming weeks, ensuring that we have proper funding opportunities ahead as those deadlines loom.

This week, again, two very simple, pragmatic approaches--and these should be wildly bipartisan--to be able to create transparency into our regulatory process and make sure that we are teaching truth to our children of the history of what made our country so great and the enterprise that has been able to drive that upward mobility in our economy.
