A truly cashless future is not imminent, but the rise is real, and today's conversation is to help our committee better understand the implications of that rise for financial inclusion, consumer privacy, and costs to both business and consumers."

[...] For anyone willing to take the time to read the report, the report is a devastating account of investigative and prosecutorial negligence, misconduct, and abuse of the FISA Court process by FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials. The most disturbing revelations of the IG investigation include reports of doctoring and using an email to mislead the FISA Court, ignoring the fact that exculpatory evidence was obtained during surreptitious recordings of investigation targets, deciding not to provide a defensive briefing to the Trump campaign, planting an FBI investigator in an intelligence briefing for Candidate Trump under false pretenses, and withholding known and significant credibility problems related to the Steele dossier." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Michael E. Horowitz.

From the Document: "Executive Order 13959 prohibits certain purchases involving publicly traded securities, or any securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to such securities, of any Communist Chinese military company. Those companies are ones the Department of Defense has listed, or will list, pursuant to section 1237 of Public Law 105-261, as amended, or are identified as Communist Chinese military companies or their subsidiaries by the Secretary of the Treasury using similar criteria. Today, I signed an Executive Order amending Executive Order 13959. The amendments prohibit certain sales as well as purchases of publicly traded securities, or any securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to such securities, of any Communist Chinese military company. They also prohibit possession of such securities by United States persons 1 year after a company is determined to be a Communist Chinese military company. And, finally, they allow the Secretary of Defense publicly to list whether a company is a Communist Chinese military company using the criteria in section 1237(b)(4)(B) of Public Law 105- 261, as amended by section 1233 of Public Law 106-398 and section 1222 of Public Law 108-375, regardless of whether the Secretary must report that determination under section 1237(b)(2)."

H. Doc. 117-10: Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to the Southern Border of the United States, January 21, 2021
From the Document: "On February 15, 2019, by Proclamation 9844, I declared a national emergency concerning the southern border of the United States to deal with the border security and humanitarian crisis that threatens core national security interests. The ongoing border security and humanitarian crisis at the southern border of the United States continues to threaten our national security, including by exacerbating the effect of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]. The executive branch has taken steps to address the crisis, but further action is needed to address the humanitarian crisis and to control unlawful migration and the flow of narcotics and criminals across the southern border of the United States. For these reasons, the national emergency declared on February 15, 2019, and the measures adopted on that date to respond to that emergency, must continue in effect beyond February 15, 2021. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Proclamation 9844 concerning the southern border of the United States."

Last month, there were troubling press reports indicating that career officials at the Census Bureau warned the Trump administration about significant problems that will delay the delivery of Census data to late January or early February. After these reports became public, the director of the Census, Dr. Steven Dillingham, issued a public statement confirming that problems were found, but he provided few details. These developments were particularly troubling because they were not reported to our committee before we read about them in the press, or before the Census director made his public statement."

H. Rept. 116-695: Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Through Promoting Competition Act of 2019, Report to Accompany H.R. 5133, December 24, 2020
From the Purpose and Summary: "H.R. 5133, the 'Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Through Promoting Competition Act,' prohibits 'product hopping,' a particularly abusive form of anti-competitive conduct used by drug manufacturers to protect and extend their monopolies on prescription drugs. Product hopping occurs when a branded drug manufacturer seeks to extend its market exclusivity on a drug for which its patent is about to expire by switching doctors and patients from the old version to a new version, which may not offer any improvements in effectiveness or safety. This practice allows a pharmaceutical company to continue to reap monopoly profits by preventing generic substitution for its new, but not necessarily improved, version of the drug. The result can be years of additional market exclusivity for the pharmaceutical company without substantial improvements for patients in terms of effectiveness or safety."
