WASHINGTON, DC — On Tuesday, Rep. Mark Harris (NC-08) addressed the House floor, urging his colleagues to immediately pass the White House's rescission package.
Full speech transcript:
“What do you call it when the world’s wealthiest man, leading some of the most innovative companies in history, offers his unmatched genius to save American taxpayers billions?
You call it a blessing, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to urge my colleagues to not let this opportunity slip through our fingers.
For five months, Elon Musk and the DOGE team have toiled relentlessly – far outpacing Congress – to deliver bold results for the hard-working Americans back home.
They have crushed social security fraud, exposed wasteful government agencies, and stopped USAID’s disturbing pet projects. But these efforts are meaningless if Congress fails to codify these reforms into law.
No excuses. No delays. We must vote on the DOGE cuts this week.
Republicans have abundantly praised DOGE’s efforts. But now is the time to stop talking and start acting.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back my time.”
