mr. donalds: thank you, mr. speaker. a couple of things. number one, the regulatory mission and the enforcement mission for the cftc has not been encumbered in any way over the last several years, so cutting their spending back at a time when the american taxpayer does not have more money first to give to the federal government and the leviathan of overspending but borrowing more for its future isn't prudent to do. number two, congress has not outlined any regulatory framework around the digital assets framework. it does not exist because congress has not spoken about digital assets. for the cftc to take appropriations to regulate a space it has no legal authority to regulate in my view is outside of the purview of the cftc. there might be a time in the future where congress would regulate legislative responsibilities around the digital assets marketplace but that has not occurred at this time. and number three, i'd agree with the gentleman from pennsylvania, the cftc with respect to all regulators is one of the most cost-effective. i belie
