“I want the House to pass this bill. It requires federal agencies to report a type of contract that spends nearly 20 billion dollars a year, so taxpayers can see where their money goes.”

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, the American people are working hard to make ends meet, and so they deserve to know how the Federal Government is spending their tax dollars. The Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025 helps. It increases transparency on how taxpayer dollars are spent by requiring Federal agencies to disclose other transaction agreements, or OTAs. These contracts have historically been excluded from public reporting, but they account for nearly $20 billion annually. This is a commonsense measure to increase transparency in Federal contracting. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.”

“Prices are going up quickly, and people should know how the government spends their money. I want the House to pass this bill.”

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time for the purposes of closing. Madam Speaker, costs are skyrocketing, and people deserve to know how their money is being spent. I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
