                                Tariffs

  Ms. CANTWELL. Mr. President, I come here today to urge my colleagues 
to vote no on the nomination of Mark Meador to be the FTC Commissioner. 
But before I do that, I did want to take a moment and talk about 
today's actions that happened when the President created a 90-day pause 
on the tariffs, taking the temperature down a bit.
  I definitely want to thank my House colleagues Representative Bacon 
and Gottheimer for introducing legislation similar to the Trade Review 
Act of 2025 that we have introduced here in the Senate.
  And while we have seen America on a roller coaster the last couple of 
days, I think it also is a reminder that we need to continue to play 
this oversight role. If you want to have the ability not to have the 
roller coaster ride we have been on, the best way to do that is to make 
sure that Congress continues to play a role in this very important 
policy. So I appreciate all my colleagues, and I appreciate my House 
colleagues for their leadership.
