mr. lance: thank you, mr. speaker. and i commend dr. roe for his significant effort in this regard. i oppose the department of labor's recently finalized fiduciary rule. the new regulations will generate nearly 57,000 paperwork hours per year and cost americans billions of dollars in duplicative fees. it will hurt hardworking middle-class american families. as a similar rule hurt middle-class hardworking british families. bipartisan legislation already advancing in the house protects access to affordable retirement advice, and that is the appropriate way to implement changes in the law. i urge all my colleagues to support resolution 88 and oppose this most recent effort by the executive branch to bypass congress and the american people and enact controversial policy by fiat. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey yields back. the gentleman from virginia reserves his time. the gentleman from tennessee is recognized. mr. roe: i thank you, mr. speaker. it's my privilege at this time to yield one minute to the distinguished the gentle
