Lauren Boebert: “I would like that sentiment to be expressed and the Members to be reminded to show respect to our witnesses who are here…”

My concerns about Section 219 and authorizing bureaucrats to give away America’s secrets are well known, so these talks and getting a commitment to get that stripped out were important.

It’s a big issue on the left and the right, and many of my constituents have reached out. They don’t want this provision in the bill.

Unfortunately, the vote was closed sooner than expected and before my conversations with DoW concluded.

This isn’t the final stop and I’ll have at least one more vote on this bill after it comes out of conference.
