I also wish my friend from New Mexico well in the next phase of his life. I thank him for his service to our country. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to make a bittersweet announcement, and that is to say thank you to a member of my staff who…

I thank the gentleman, and I hope we get those answers. These are serious questions that have been raised. And we are talking about a committee that deals with the most sensitive intelligence information. In fact, most Members of Congress…

I agree that we need to continue these negotiations and get a resolution, and, hopefully, we will in the coming week, both on COVID relief and on the funding of government. We have agreed on caps already. Hopefully, we will maintain that…

We will continue to push to get that relief, starting with the Chabot bill--hopefully, with other things. But at least let's bring those items that we are in agreement on to the floor. Millions of jobs are at stake. Finally, I want to ask…

Let me remind the gentleman that in the CARES Act, we addressed many of those issues that the gentleman already brought up, starting with the States. In fact, I don't know of a single State in this country who has spent all of the money we…

I will give this assurance to the majority leader, that if you are looking for a replacement, I would be happy to provide recommendations and even participate in the interview process, if that would be helpful to the gentleman from…
