Elijah Cummings

We have our entire oversight plan that we have submitted last week, and it sets forth a very large set of investigative priorities ranging from hurricane-response efforts to preventing retaliation against whistleblowers.

We are very careful with the people's money.

Yes. We have been investigating that for a while.

Definitely, but right now the White House has been stonewalling us on information. But we are getting there.

Yes. It is one of my top priorities.

Let's be honest. I have heard this untruth... about the first witness that we brought was Michael Cohen.

He has already been told--he came to us and said--he told the Congress that the citizenship question--I am going to be very brief--came from DOJ.

We are looking not only at waste, fraud, and abuse, but we are also looking at the way--and this is something that we have not talked about a lot here, but the way employees are treated.

Let me be abundantly clear. According to many, we have one of the best staffs on Capitol Hill. I plan to keep it.

I am going to tell you, if you or any of us were working at 4 o'clock in the morning and then had to come back at 9, you are not going to be but so effective.

We have been able to come together in the past.

There is so much to look at. As I have said many times, we have so many things that are coming towards us.

A combination of all of the above.

I want to be effective and efficient.

The first call I made when I became chairman was to the Ranking Member, and I said, 'I want to come visit your district...'

People are dying out there. So let us do a better job.

If you come here and say things that are not accurate, I will hold you accountable.

Finally, thank God, we are dealing with is not as a Black/White thing. Not as a rural/city thing. None of that. We are dealing with as a human problem.

My point is that we have now moved, and people I think are -- kind of used to paint the drug problem as a Black thing. It is not a Black thing.

She is one of the most progressive and I mean assertive people with regard to naloxone and drug addiction.

The Coast Guard did not have specific involvement in the drafting and review of the National Drug Control Strategy.

I want to know what you expect, but I want you to know what I expect.

Please, manufacturers of naloxone, bring your prices down. Save some lives.

You know, one of the reason I think, and I was surprised too Welch, but they have been rationing the drug.

I am just being honest with you. I am trying to be effective and efficient. We got people dying. That is all.
