                   PROTECTING VULNERABLE POPULATIONS

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, throughout my career, I have worked to 
protect vulnerable populations.
  Yesterday, I was proud to support the Consumer Protection and 
Recovery Act, which will aim to protect exploited consumers, including 
the elderly, who are oftentimes the most at risk.
  The Federal Trade Commission has an essential role to safeguard 
consumers from businesses that utilize misleading and deceptive 
practices. These bad actors must be held accountable, and the victims 
of any scam deserve justice.
  I appreciate the leadership of the House Energy and Commerce 
Committee to ensure that the FTC has the capabilities it needs to 
protect all individuals from fraud.
  I encourage our Senate colleagues to consider this important 
legislation as soon as possible.
