mr. messer: i do yield. mr. barton: mr. upton, mr. whitfield and myself support your amendment and ask it be accepted. mr. messer: i thank the chairman. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from new jersey seek recognition? mr. pallone: mr. speaker, again, i rise in mild opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. pallone: i support the amendment by the gentleman from indiana. iran has the fourth largest number of proven oil reserves in the world. in fact, supporters of this bill often state concern over the market impact of increased iranian exports on domestic producer -- producers. while it's hard to understand why we need to worry about our crude oil going to a country that is a major net exporter of oil, i have no objection adopting this amendment and making really sure iran doesn't get any of our oil and petroleum products. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from indiana. mr. messer: i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yiel

mr. messer. the chair: the gentleman from indiana is recognized for three minutes. mr. messer: i thank the chair and the gentleman for yielding. ise in support of h.r. 10, the scholarships for opportunity and results re-authorization act. i want to thank mr. mcclintock for a lifetime of extraordinary leadership on this issue. as a former chairman of the house -- speaker boehner improved educational opportunities for all students. literally thousands of kids have access to the american dream because of his dedication to the d.c. opportunity scholarship program. as chairman of the congressional school choice caucus, i was honored to have speaker boehner keynote a rally earlier this year with hundreds of opportunity scholarship recipients. i have to tell you, i'm amazed at some of the rhetoric i've been hearing today. talking about it's disgraceful this legislation is before you. i tell us what's disgraceful, it's disgraceful that any child in america has to go to a terrible school. and it's disgraceful that anyone would say we should do anything but make sure that every on

mr. messer: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman and gentlelady for their leadership on this important issue. i rise today in support of s. 1300, the adoptive family relief act. for many, family is anything. as any parent knows, not seing your child for even one day can be hard. now imagine, you're separated from your child by over 6,000 miles, for more than two years. this is the reality for too many americans. hundreds of adopted children are stuck in the democratic republic of congo because their government has refused to provide the paperwork required for these children to leave. for over two years, the myers a family in my district, have been waiting to bring home their son nd daughter. papi and ocktavea. we -- and octavia. we can do better for these two and all the other families. as the state department continues to work to bring home these children, s. 1300 provides much-needed relief to american families going through this harrowing experience. i urge my colleagues to vote for this legislation. it's th

mr. messer, another valued member of our committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. messer: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank ms. wagner for her leadership on this important issue. i rise in support of the retail investor protection act. let me be clear. we all agree that investment advisors should act in the best interest of their client and we all want to ensure that low and middle income investors get good financial advice but in life and the world of public debate, we're not just responsible for our intentions. we're also responsible for our results. and that's the problem. -- that's the problem with the department of labor's fiduciary rule. whatever their intentions, the results of this administration's policy will hurt the very people they're saying they're trying to help. here's why. the rule will increase the cost of financial advice and force working class investors to pay higher fees. and the fact is, most investors can't afford these fees. as a result, millions of investors will get no advice
