On the recordJanuary 29, 2018
I come to the House this evening with several of my colleagues principally to thank Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes for their tireless pursuit of the truth. There is a four-page memo. I have read it. Over 190 of my Republican colleagues have read it. Some Democrats have read it, and some have boycotted reading it. It details circumstances that are deeply troubling to me and that I believe will be deeply troubling to many Americans. This memo encapsulates an entire year of work by these committees and by these committee chairmen, and they are to be commended for the excellent job that they have done, for the professionalism that they have undertaken, and for the stunning facts that they have uncovered that will soon be available for the American people. I will have more to say on this throughout the hour, Mr. Speaker, but first I yield to one of my colleagues in the Congress who was one of the first and loudest voices calling for transparency at the highest levels and to the maximum extent possible. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Zeldin).
