I look forward to our expert witnesses' testimony and further discussion, and I hope we can leave this hearing with a better understanding of the ramifications of any proposed solution as we embark on working together, hopefully, to craft…

There is a common theme here, that corrupt people do corrupt things.

I would urge you all to go in and find out if any of us here have any so-called conflicts of interest.

I would argue that both Republicans and Democrats here, we engage with the American people on a regular basis.

We have given the STOCK Act ten years, and it is time for Congress to take another look at this issue.

I am hopeful that the Majority will take this opportunity to work together to build a bipartisan solution instead of proceeding with a knee-jerk reaction that sends a one-party bill immediately to the Floor.

I do believe this discussion is extremely important.

We have a job interview called an election.

Did he or anybody on your team give you any indication of when the investigation of that particular Edwardsville pipeline burst might be completed?

And it is great, again, to call you a friend, and great to call you Madam Chair, and I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Bravo, and I yield back.

I appreciate the job that each of you are doing. I appreciate the job you are doing.

Next year? OK, well, I----

Although this may seem like an odd topic for Members to deliberate upon, I would risk the exaggeration that physical space is a significant challenge that the First Branch faces in being a strong, healthy institution that is responsive to…

Recommendation number one simply should be re-opening the Capitol Campus.

How dare we be the Members that decide not to show up at the Capitol for the American people.

Our job depends upon interaction. Our job depends upon being able to work together.

We have 22 months of proof that proxy voting and remote committee hearings do not serve the American people well.

I think this is a majority process to keep a very small majority they have of voting for the bills that should be more bipartisan.

It is time that COVID-19 stops controlling Congress as well.

I appreciate the comments Ms. Scanlon had, but there is absolutely no comparison of what President Zelenskyy had to do from a war zone to us having a hearing in the United States Congress.

if Congress is ever going to reassert its oversight of the executive branch and its other constitutional powers, it needs more staff.

The juxtaposition of people remoting into these hearings when you had President Zelenskyy remote in from a war zone is an amazing juxtaposition.

In noncompetitive situations, captive shippers--three-quarters of our member companies are captive--those rates have gone up 230 percent over that same time.

It is imperative that the Inspector General's Office continue to investigate the intelligence failures in the buildup to January 6th.
