I thank the gentleman for his question. We don't have a specific day, but I will tell him that it is our intention, assuming that the administration gets the enabling legislation to us in a timely fashion, which is my expectation they will…
I appreciate the gentleman making the comment with respect to the Defense Department and the importance of funding them, and I agree with that. I want to point out that the same challenge applies to all the other agencies of government…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, what he said was he thought there was, in fact, a quid pro quo. Of course, as the gentleman points out, he had a bias: a substantial contributor to Mr. Trump, appointed by Mr. Trump as…
I will say to the gentleman that I don't accept his premise that Mr. Schiff or the committee spied on anybody. They do have records, apparently. The gentleman asked me how deep my knowledge is. And I will tell him, frankly, not very deep…
I would say that is not accurate. But having said that, we hope we can move forward. But to absolve the United States Senate, led by Republicans, have a majority of Republicans controlling the Senate Committee on Appropriations and…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. I just make one additional comment. It is ironic that the minority whip, Madam Speaker, addresses such great concern about funding the Armed Forces of the United States. We passed a bill at a figure that…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I would advise all Members on both sides of the aisle not to schedule any business outside of Washington, D.C., between the 16th and the 20th of next month. And I will advise them further…
The gentleman wasn't here during the Clinton impeachment with Starr. Starr might as well----
When they have concluded their private sessions, which are trying to get at the facts and not having been tainted by some circus. Everybody is going to have the right to see what evidence is adduced. That is the fear, of course, and I…
The gentleman keeps misstating the facts and the law and the process. Every Member is going to have access to all the documents, all the testimony before they are asked to vote on it, period.
Mr. Scalise, I know you are not a lawyer. Do you have any idea what a grand jury is?
Mr. Scalise, watch your words. Watch your words, Mr. Scalise. You and I both know it has no analogy to what you have just said. You ought to know that. If you don't know it, you ought to sit down with your counsel and find out about it…
It is not true, in my opinion, but he has no way to back up that statement, and I think the gentleman must know that.
He has no evidence of that. If the gentleman will yield, he has no evidence of that.
As usual, the whip did not answer my question. I said, is the President above the law? But he wants to pound on the table, Mr. Speaker, because neither the facts nor the law is on his side. The process is consistent with the rules put in…
I will respond as I responded last week. We are doing our constitutional duty of oversight of the administration and the actions of the President of the United States to determine whether or not there had been violations of law, whether…
I cannot respond to that at this point in time. We haven't made that decision to move ahead. The committees, as the gentleman knows, are considering it, and if they decide that the House should move forward, then we will make that decision.
We cannot allow shoddy construction by cost-cutting contractors to saddle Metro and its ridership with long-term costly maintenance problems.
Together we have been supportive of General Manager Paul Wiedefeld's reforms to the system.
Steny Hoyer has just been a pivotal figure in making sure that happens over the years.
I appreciate the opportunity to join the members of this subcommittee today to ensure that Congress is conducting its proper oversight of the Metro system.
The polls reflect that the public believes we ought to be doing what we are doing.
The gentleman mentioned the Justice Department. Mr. Barr is essentially Mr. Trump's lawyer. Mr. Trump mentioned him in the transcript, too--it is not a transcript; it is a report of the call-- and said: Talk to Barr, and he'll come over…
No, the rules of the committee in terms of subpoenas and witnesses. We are following that rule. He complains about it. Madam Speaker, he hasn't answered the substantive question. They don't have an answer to the substantive question…
