                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 2, 2025

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, today we will vote on the Destroying 
Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive (DUMP) Red Tape Act, which 
would require the SBA's Office of Advocacy to codify a Red Tape Hotline 
to receive submissions on burdensome regulations and to report on those 
submissions. I will vote ``no'' because this bill is redundant--there 
is already a hotline in place for reporting red tape. Rather than 
improving the process, this bill would create an unnecessary layer of 
bureaucracy that would hinder, not help, the ongoing work of the SBA's 
Office of Advocacy.
