Today many will address the House here and later in the day on subjects of great current importance, certainly the upholding of the President's health care initiative and, certainly, in fact, the contempt vote we're going to hear in a few…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's been a long day for America, but it's been a longer day for the Terry family. I'm going to urge everyone to vote for the ability to hire counsel, and that's what the last vote is, and I believe it will pass…
As a point of inquiry, do I have the right to close? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California has the right to close.
I now yield all remaining time to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy), an experienced prosecutor, to close. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from South Carolina is recognized for 4 minutes.
I'm not sure if I heard the gentleman right when he said that I ``silenced whistleblowers'' in order to keep them from talking about gun control. Is the gentleman disparaging and falsely claiming that I did something that I know for a fact…

It's amazing that people would say there's no evidence of a coverup when somebody says, No, we didn't do what we did, and then hides it for an additional 10 months. By any normal American standard, that would be a coverup. With that, I…
Reclaiming my time, it's pretty clear you are disparaging me, and you are disparaging me by making a claim that's untrue. The bottom line is, in committee, witnesses were told that they need not answer questions that were not the subject…
I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, there's been a lot of talk about the documents that the Attorney General couldn't give us. These documents, documents under seal, would be an example of documents that we should not…

As I know the former Speaker of the House knows, the Attorney General is being held in contempt as the custodian of the records for refusing to deliver them, and not because we got to choose how far up or not to go. With that, I yield 1…
I yield myself 15 seconds. I respect my colleague from California, as we came in to Congress together some 12 years ago; but the fact is he talked about everything except the fact that Congress was lied to in a false letter and follow- up…

Carolyn and I don't often see eye to eye on matters of public policy, but in this instance we collaborated and worked together.

the White House has steadfastly maintained that it has not had any role in advising the Department with respect to the congressional investigation.
