Sam Farr: “I think that by doing this we are questioning the loyalty of our own staff.”

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

But not our staffs. Haven't had a COLA increase in 5 years.

I am embarrassed that Congress is going home today for 2 months after having done nothing about this outrageous use of guns in America. We are going home because it is an election year. We have 2 months to be with our constituents. I hope…

In reclaiming my time, I thank the chairman. I really appreciate those kind remarks.
