Was there any conversation or consideration about the fact that the January 6th was scheduled on a very important day, that Congress would be in session certifying the results of the election?

I appreciate your indulgence. I see I have gone over my time. I have a few extra questions that I will submit.

I think if we have information that is coming in the day before a major event, that has that level of specificity, that it could get a little more attention than, being handled either through an email or electronic format.

Given all of these pieces, what in your opinion broke down and what got in the way of law enforcement properly planning to meet these publicly articulated threats?

I do think that deserves additional focus.

The FBI does not monitor publicly available social media conversations?

Based on that response, would it be fair to assume that it was not a particularly high priority that there were armed protests planned at all 50 State capitols across the country?

As we work to rebuild the economy and reopen safely, we will likely see pent-up demand in the hardest-hit sectors.

Thank you, Chairman Powell. Again, I appreciate you being here today. Mr. Chairman, let us work together to get the economy back on track and ensure that everyone benefits from this recovery.

I think that that is critical.

Now, I will admit that when I hear from Arizonans, the first question or concern they have for me is not usually about the federal funds rate.

Will you recognize our office and this Committee as a stakeholder and work with us accordingly?

Many of my constituents in Arizona share these concerns. They balance their checkbooks, and they make tough choices to keep food on the table and pay their bills.

I would like to ask you to commit to working with us so we can better ensure those rules are achieving their objectives.

I yield back all time on both sides. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

As we consider expansion, we have to acknowledge the challenges of access to broadband in these communities.

My office is increasingly hearing from Arizona veterans asking for clarification on how to receive the COVID vaccine from the VA and when they will be able to receive it.

We hope to provide more details about that site in the coming weeks.

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise today to share the facts about Arizona's recent election and to urge my colleagues to step away from divisive political rhetoric and step towards renewing Americans' faith in our democracy. The 2020 Arizona…
