While you were talking about that actual regulation, and to see how well and easy it is not to violate the regulation, I literally just typed into Google, ``flights to Philadelphia.'' And there is a flight leaving in 46 minutes. And the cheapest I found right now--well, no, I found one for $441. I found another one for $447. If you want to connect to Philadelphia--which I don't know why you would-- but if you want to do that, JetBlue will take you there for $264. So in Secretary Price's effort to live an extravagant lifestyle and basically void himself of all commonsense, he also violated ethics violations. And this is something that we consistently see within this Trump administration. On the other flip of that, we consistently see a Republican-led Congress that is not doing their duty by the Constitution of oversight on the executive. Not one, not one movement has been done by any Republican, especially Republican leadership, to push back on this egregious waste of taxpayer money. Mr. Speaker, I yield to Representative Lieu.
