On day one, they entered an Executive order retracting an FHA
mortgage reduction, thereby requiring homeowners with FHA loans to have
to pay more for their monthly mortgages. They have done a Federal
hiring ban that falls disproportionately on veterans because the
Federal workforce is a veteran-heavy workforce. They have done the
immigration rules that we have discussed which not only affect
immigrants but have a dramatic negative effect on America's technology
industry. And then in the first two uses of the CRA procedure since the 1990s,
they have eliminated a rule to allow more pollution of streams in poor
areas where coal is produced, and now this--allowing companies to
escape transparency and make the very kinds of payments that lead to
corruption in foreign governments, corruption so severe that a former
Republican Member of this body was compelled to write a superb report
in 2008 and have bipartisan legislation passed. I urge my colleagues to vote against the CRA repeal of this rule.
