On the recordNovember 8, 2023
Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman from Maryland for his interest. The issue is one thing. The issue is: Does this agency or any agency have the ability to go out on their own on a solo career and not have congressional oversight? I say no. I say no. We can talk about the program in the cloakroom or in the fireplace room and talk about how great it is. Hopefully, we will see eye-to-eye that Federal agencies that don't have the authority to go in a particular direction shouldn't go in that particular direction. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
