mrs. maloney: mr. chairman, i ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the following letters of opposition to h.r. 78, the consumer federation of america, americans for financial reform, the california state teachers retirement fund and the council of institutional investors. these institutions represent various groups such as investors, consumers, public pension plans, labor unions and communities of color. the chair: the gentlelady's requests will be considered under general leave. mrs. maloney: thank you. i yield four minutes to my good friend and distinguished colleague from the great state of texas, a member of the financial services committee, congressman green. the chair: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. green: thank you, mr. chair. i thank the member for yielding , and i am absolutely amazed that this legislation has progressed to this point. this is not a panacea. this is not legislation that will prevent some harm being done to mom and pops. this is about wall street. this is

mrs. maloney: here we are, mr. speaker, more than three months in fiscal year 2017, debating a budget which is not really a budget resolution. even the majority admits it is nothing more than a shell to help them repeal the affordable care act. it doesn't contain any way to grow jobs. it doesn't contain any new ideas to grow our economy. and with all of the majority's rhetoric about deficits over the last decade or more, this budget explodes the deficit and adds $2 trillion, as in t, to the national debt. only to set the stage for repeal of health care assistance to millions of americans. what's more, the congressional budget office has told us that repeal of the affordable care act would increase the deficit, $353 billion over 10 years. now, many of my colleagues have noted the devastating effect of the repeal of the affordable care act -- the effect it would have on millions of americans' health. 30 million americans would lose insurance including four million children, the cost of prescription drugs would go up.

mrs. maloney: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to bring up h.r. 724 which would rescind the president's refugee ban that impacts green card holders like the woman located in iran with her 3-year-old u.s. citizen daughter. the speaker pro tempore: as previously announced, the unanimous consent request cannot be entertained. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. hastings: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield 10 seconds to the distinguished gentleman from oregon, mr. defazio. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oregon is recognized. mr. detazzo: h.r. 724 would repeal trump's overreaching executive order that purports to make america safer. it's time to restore american values. one of the republicans afraid of? if you support his action, bring up the bill and vote against it. if you don't support his action, we're giving you an opportunity to restore the lawful rights of american people. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. as previously, the unanimous consent request c

mrs. maloney: i thank my good friend for his extraordinary leadership on this issue and so many others for standing up for women and i thank him for the time. the right to speak is a very special one and mr. speaker, the right to choose is meaningless without the access to choose. and that is what this bill is about. it is cutting off access to choice. and that is why the anti-choice movement is so strongly behind this bill. h.r. 7 is a cynical attempt to use the federal government's power of the purse to restrict a woman's access to her constitutionally protected right to an abortion. i oppose the hyde amendment and believe we should be increasing access to comprehensive health care, not reducing it. but this bill makes hyde permanent and it goes further. it prohibits the affordable care act's tax credit for individuals and employers who choose plans that cover abortion. h.r. 7 would restrict abortion coverage or make such coverage too burdensome or expensive for many americans to afford. it's a step back towards a dark and ugly time when anti-abortion laws took a substantial toll on wome

mrs. maloney: residents in new york city had a special reason to celebrate as this new year began. the very first new subway in over 60 years and the largest subway in the country opened its doors and carried passengers at 12:00 noon on new year's day. this new line is expected to carry over 200,000 travelers a day. reduce commute time, reduce cost, efficiency, and boost small businesses. it's a project that has been on the books for over a century. and one that i fought for every single day that i have been in congress. it's the gift that keeps on giving. it's already generated over 16,000 new jobs. has spurred over $840 million in good wages. and the regional plan says that it is responsible for over $2.5 billion in new economic activity. and they just opened their doors. let's work together and support other good, important infrastructure projects in our country. it's good for americans. it's good for america. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields. for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota seek recognition? mr. emmer: request permission to address th
