                  CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU

  (Mr. OGLES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. OGLES. Mr. Speaker, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the 
CFPB, was designed by liberals to harass American businesses and has 
been compromising American consumers' access to financial services.
  The CFPB is unconstitutional, duplicative, and full of bad ideas. For 
example, it is currently pursuing a rule that would effectively ban 
banks from offering overdraft protection, a benefit utilized by 
millions of Americans.
  The CFPB is part of a Federal bureaucracy that Republicans have 
promised and pledged to do away with.
  Today, I am introducing the Mandating the Abolition of a Threat to 
Consumer Happiness, the MATCH Act, which will impose a permanent hiring 
freeze at the CFPB, prohibit it from establishing any new positions and 
transferring employees, and halt any new appointments.
  The CFPB is nothing more than Joe Biden's DEI enforcement bureau. It 
is an agency that needs to be burned to the ground, and I am providing 
the match.
