A year ago today, the House passed on suspension my bill, which Mr. Kovacs referred to, H.R. 1293, which is a very fundamental accountability transparency bill.

We need to be the convinced that this new Center has a robust system to investigate and stop bad actors.

I have concerns about whether SafeSport has sufficient resources and whether it truly has the independence it needs.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll be very brief.
