Henry Waxman: “I take the role of congressional investigator very seriously.”

It is not for the President to say or to obstruct congressional deliberations and investigations or other legitimate functions.

The House's need for all the facts surrounding suspected Presidential offences cannot of course be circumscribed by an executive determination of what is relevant.

The Federal Government would maintain its commitment to sharing the costs of providing basic healthcare and long-term coverage to vulnerable Americans.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.
