Like 300 other witnesses called to meet with the January 6 committee and our staff, Mark Meadows was, indeed, cooperating with our committee and voluntarily released thousands of pages of admittedly unprivileged documents, and then…

The gentlewoman invokes the oath of office. Former President Trump swore an oath to uphold and defend our Constitution, and we have all of these tweets which clearly indicate he wasn't doing that. H. Res. 503 authorizes and obligates our…

I just want to emphasize that in his distinguished service in this Chamber, Mr. Meadows would never tolerate an executive official simply deciding to blow off a subpoena of the U.S. Congress. He said, ``Whether you are a Republican or a…

I thank the gentlewoman for her very insightful remarks. The committee has referred often to the passage that the gentlewoman identifies by the Supreme Court saying that a subpoena to come and testify is not an invitation to a game of hare…

I appreciate, of course, the temptation to just change the subject and talk about something completely different because there are no arguments left on their side. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in the Trump v. Bennie Thompson case, in…

First of all, on the matter of the phone records, what has been subpoenaed is simply the metadata establishing where the phone calls were going amongst different parties that were involved in the January 6 insurrection and the attempted…

Today the Rules Committee met and reported a rule, House Resolution 848. The rule provides for consideration of the resolution accompanying House Report 117-216, under a closed rule if the report is called up by direction of the Select…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Mrs. Fischbach), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 848 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 848 Resolved, That if House Report 117-216 is called up by direction of the…

Mr. President, I stand today to extend my heartiest congratulations to Ann Mathis--``Andi''--as she prepares to retire from the National Endowment for the Arts--NEA--after 42 years of dedicated service. A resident of Bethesda, MD, Andi has…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, pending Senate passage of the CR tonight without amendment, the House will not be in session tomorrow--I want to reiterate, pending passage of the CR tonight. If the CR is not passed, we…

I thank the gentleman, and I agree with his comments. It is my understanding, although I haven't talked personally, but it is my understanding that introducing the conference-agreed bill in the House, and passing it through the House will…

I thank the chair of the Appropriations Committee for yielding me 1 minute. I rise to say, of course, everybody is going to vote for this bill. I wish I believed that. Madam Speaker, this bill is a demonstration of the failure of 535…

I hereby remove my name as a cosponsor of H.R. 5344. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's request is accepted. ____________________

I agree with the gentleman. We have talked to the sponsor, and we have talked to others. I expect this bill to be on the floor next week.

How is that? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Connecticut had 30 seconds remaining.

I thank the gentleman, who is my friend, and I thank him for that. As I was saying, this is a failure. We knew that these 12 bills have to pass. Why? Because if they do not, government shuts down. It stops serving the American people. It…

We have a list of suspension bills, which has been announced and has been on our calendar for consideration. Those would be the pieces of legislation with which we would deal, pending action by the Senate.
