What Congress Said
Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.
Republicans40 spoke
We support our great men and women in our military, and we want to fund them to have the best equipment, be afforded the best housing and best pay, and be treated the best in the world.
I rise in strong support of the Senate GENIUS Act, and I thank my colleague and longtime friend, Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, for his leadership in ushering this bipartisan bill through the United States Senate.
For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Scanlon), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only.
This amendment strikes all funding for the Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid account. The funding is used by DOD to assist during humanitarian disasters.
I am incredibly proud today to stand before you to share my support for the CLARITY Act. This is legislation that we have been working on in the Agriculture Committee for 7 years.
That is why I introduced legislation providing for an eight-point plan to condition aid to the Lebanese military, including provisions that would disband Hezbollah, eliminate all coordination with and support from the Iranian regime, and end persecution of American citizens who have advocated against Hezbollah's influence over the Government of Lebanon.
I rise today in strong support of the passage of the GENIUS Act, and I thank Chairman Hill for his extraordinary leadership, not just in this Congress, but for a long time advocating for this moment. He deserves a tremendous amount of credit for persevering and working and marshaling bipartisan, bicameral support.
I rise in support of the GENIUS Act. The legislation brings clarity, consumer protections, and American leadership to the evolving world of payment stablecoins.
I applaud my Senate colleagues Chairman Scott and Senators Hagerty, Lummis, and Gillibrand for energizing an often calcified Senate and sending over the GENIUS Act.
It is long overdue for us to provide Federal legal clarity here, so why am I speaking in opposition to it? My Republican colleagues are exactly right about the stablecoins and the need for regulation.
These stablecoins have the ability to greatly increase not only the speed of payments and settlements, but also make our economic system even more efficient. Stablecoins will also support the advancement of the U.S. dollar around the globe.
President Trump understands the dangers of more government and more surveillance. It is why he issued an executive order prohibiting a CBDC. The vote before the House would make that ban permanent, and I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
Under this bill, we established a regulatory framework that targets the activity, not the technology. After years of indecision, Americans finally have an administration that is ready to embrace those products. The time to reassert American leadership in the digital asset space is now.
In closing, the gentleman from Florida is entitled to his opinion. It is an opinion he has brought to us not once, but multiple times. Each time this body has voted down, on a broad bipartisan basis, this amendment.
When rumors surfaced of workforce reductions at the island, I wrote to Secretary of the Army Driscoll, made a site visit with him, and spoke directly with the men and women whose skills cannot be replicated overnight. This amendment cements their mission readiness.
The decommissioning of the Navy's mixed fleet strategy, the LCS vessels, is not the answer to our budget constraints. That is why I stand in opposition to this amendment, and I ask my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the Davidson amendment.
The longstanding U.S. military investment for the independent Lebanese Armed Forces, also known as the LAF, has worked to support U.S. security interests in the Middle East for close to 20 years.
Before I withdraw this amendment, I ask Chairman Calvert to commit to working with me on the continued LC-130 recapitalization project as you have so graciously in the past.
The gentlewoman talks about the spirit of this amendment. This amendment is issued in the spirit of freedom, and that is all that Taiwan is looking for, to defend its freedom, and it should be able to do it.
This bill is about defending our Constitution and protecting the privacy of the American people. The Constitution is unambiguous in Article I, Section 8, which grants only Congress exclusive authority to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin.
I rise in support of the rule and the underlying legislation. The four separate measures being considered under this rule all have a singular commonality. They serve to put American interests first, where they should always be.
I rise today in support of the rule for H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 and H.R. 1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. Together, these bills provide much needed clarity on digital asset regulation and ensure critical consumer protections so Americans retain their financial freedom.
Any digital dollar must reflect our values of privacy and our First Amendment rights. This bill ensures our digital assets policy is in the hands of the American people, not the administrative state.
I rise today to speak in support of amendment No. 159, to provide funding for the purchase of heavy dump trucks, or HDTs, for the Active Army, the Army National Guard, and the Army Reserve.
I rise today in strong support of the CLARITY Act. The increasing adoption of digital assets and the use of blockchain technologies can grow our economy and provide American families with a new opportunity to grow wealth.
As a member of both the Agriculture Committee and the Financial Services Committee, I have been able to see this issue on both sides: commodities versus securities, CFTC versus the SEC.
Once again, we are showing that we can lead here in Washington, D.C., getting things done with the leadership of our President and our leadership here in the House, working together with the United States Senate.
I rise in support of this amendment by my colleague from Pennsylvania that increases funding by $30 million for procurement of the Army's heavy dump trucks and offsets it with a $30 million reduction to future tactical unmanned aircraft system development.
I rise today in support of the bipartisan CLARITY Act, commonsense legislation that finally gives digital asset markets the regulatory certainty they need to grow responsibly right here in the United States.
The Biden administration started us down the road of adopting a Central Bank Digital Currency issued by the Federal Reserve without the consent of the American people or their Representatives here in Congress.
At the center of that effort is the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. This bill ensures that no central bank digital currency will be created under the Federal Reserve. We have seen what that looks like in Communist China where the CCP uses it to track, monitor, and control their people, but not here, Mr. Speaker.
The CCP uses every tool it can, including maps, to undermine truth and assert illegitimate claims over sovereign territory. Congress should not fund anything that supports the CCP's disinformation efforts, and now is the time for strategic clarity, with rising bellicosity coming from the CCP.
America's innovative ecosystem has made our Nation an investment magnet and development hub, but thus far, our regulatory system has failed the digital assets industry.
Although Bitcoin has been around for over 15 years, cryptocurrencies and related decentralized financial products have exploded in the past few years. Many Americans now own cryptocurrencies, and the industry has seen significant growth.
More concerning, by passing this bill, Congress will be telling the world that Congress is okay with corruption, okay with foreign companies buying influence, and okay with criminals buying Trump coins to seek pardons and beneficial treatment.
As the senior member on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, I am deeply concerned and disappointed by this legislation. This bill was written before the
This bill has never even been considered or debated by the House Financial Services Committee or the Agriculture Committee, the committees of jurisdiction, which is the usual practice in this body. I guess this is what passes for genius these days.
If I were to describe Jeffrey Epstein as a nice family man who works in finance, you might question why I am saying that. If someone says that something that is neither a coin nor stable is a stablecoin, you might question why they are saying that because they aren't stable.
These are such clear-cut conflicts of interest, yet this bill does nothing to address them. It doesn't bar the President or Cabinet officials from holding financial stakes in stablecoin issuers. It doesn't address the foreign investors piling into these ventures.
I am honored to serve as a co-lead on this legislation, alongside Chairman Thompson, Chairman Hill, Ranking Member Craig, Subcommittee Chair Johnson, and so many others who came to the table in good faith to get this done.
I rise in support of the bipartisan CLARITY Act. This bill was made possible through a bipartisan effort that I was very proud to help lead with Chairman Hill and Congressman Steil. It is an important one because one-fifth of Americans own crypto.
Last night, the Speaker's Rules Committee voted to block my amendment that called for the full release of the Epstein files while protecting the victims' identity.
I have listened to many of my colleagues' views on the issues before us today. I respect them all, and I respect their views. I don't disagree with many of the points that my colleagues who are in opposition are making, especially as it relates to executive conflict of interest concerns.
I rise in the strongest opposition to this defense spending bill because, once again, in the dark of night, the GOP is passing bills, stripping the American people of their safety, security, and support.
As the vice ranking member of the Commodity Markets, Digital Assets, and Rural Development Subcommittee of the House Committee on Agriculture, I rise today in support of both the CLARITY and GENIUS Acts.
I rise in vigorous opposition to the CLARITY Act. This bill gives a green light to self-enriching crypto schemes where officials at the highest levels of power, including in the White House, have generated hundreds of billions of dollars in personal profit.
Let me be clear: I support the growth of digital assets, blockchain innovation, and the promise that crypto holds for expanding financial access and economic justice, but this bill is not clarity. It is confusion cloaked in legislation.
