I would encourage everybody to read the results of the Texas grand jury proceeding. Here are some headlines from what happened: ``Vindication for Planned Parenthood,'' and ``Texas Grand Jury Clears Planned Parenthood, Indicts Its Accusers.'' It is a charade that we are back on the floor after that grand jury decision. It is rare, my colleagues, to see a grand jury investigate one entity--in this case, Planned Parenthood--and turn around and indict its accusers. Despite that, we are back here in this evidence- free zone. I yield 1 minute to gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams), a distinguished member of the Education and the Workforce Committee.
