There should be a mandatory restitution provision for victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault within the military context.

I strongly believe that commanders must retain full authority over all other offenses.

The gentleman's time has expired.

The IRC recommended that sexual harassment be investigated by trained investigators outside the chain of command.

I believe the commission's rationale for removing sexual assault prosecution decisions from the chain of command also applies to other felony-level offenses that are non-military-specific.

I thought that was a way of establishing accountability and hopefully to discourage that kind of behavior.

Would you make the committee aware of what installations are in that particular group?

When Vanessa Guillen's murder took place at Fort Hood, the inspector general went down within a short period of time, came back, and reported that everything was just fine.

To underscore that point, a recent RAND study, as I am sure you are aware, Dr. Hicks, indicates that 40 percent of the victims of sexual assault are LGBTQ members.

One in four service women and 1 in 16 service men experience sexual harassment.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. My heart is racing right now, and I am trembling, in part because I am recalling what happened to me on January 6, when I was in that gallery and had to climb around the other side and then lie there on…

The history of whistleblowing dates back to the founding of this country. The Continental Congress was committed to making sure that whistleblowers would have a voice. Last year alone, $2.2 billion was saved by the taxpayers because of…

He hasn't ever had a baby. So, maybe he thinks it is a vacation.

So, if we are truly a country that supports family values, it is time to show it.

But I am deeply concerned that this scandal that has been promoted under a previous administration is going to, you know, scar the lives of these children for the rest of their lives.

The amount of nicotine in an e-cigarette is--is it 12 milligrams? Is that what I read somewhere?

So, the previous administration at one point said they were going to ban fruit flavors and then they reversed themselves, and as a result, menthol JUUL pods were increased by, like, a thousand percent among high school students.

That is alarming. Thank you. I yield back.

So, it appears that there are some companies now that are just, basically, ignoring the requirements, Puff Bar being one of them.

You know, one of the biggest concerns is that these young people don't appreciate there is nicotine in these e-cigarettes.

This bill is something I have been working on for 10 years and have introduced in every Congress since I came to Congress. It provides $25 million a year for 5 years. Over the last 200 years, 90 percent of the bay wetlands have…

I think it should be a select committee. And I think that we have to be clear-eyed about what our colleagues are interested in which is nothing. They don`t want to remember January 6.

So, it`s very consistent with who Donald Trump is. We saw it with the Ukrainian president where he was going to withheld money that we had already authorized to be sent to the Ukraine because he wanted them to do an investigation of Hunter…

I was stunned when it became known that Parler, a conservative social media Web site contacted the FBI with e-mails 50 times.

I have introduced legislation (the Servicemember Parental Leave Equity Act, H.R. 3122) to expand caregiver leave for servicemembers to 12 weeks for both new mothers and fathers.
