“The gentleman from Massachusetts continues talking about how this select committee has been modeled after the Select Committee on Benghazi, but ``modeled'' is a very loose term, given that this committee obviously has a far more skewed ratio than the Benghazi committee did. In addition to that, this committee can all be appointed by the Speaker. In her own words, she agreed that, yes, she could appoint them all. In the Select Committee on Benghazi, there were recommendations taken from the minority to the majority in order to appoint that membership. So to say that this has been modeled after Benghazi, maybe because they have the name ``select committee,'' and that is the model they use, but certainly the membership and the makeup of this is not the bipartisan issue that it was on the Select Committee on Benghazi. Madam Speaker, I have been listening to some of my colleagues on the other side, and you would think that nothing is being done to investigate the January 6 attack, and that is wrong. In addition to the bipartisan Senate investigation that has already been mentioned, numerous other investigations are under way by both law enforcement and congressional bodies. {time} 1415 And as I have mentioned, we have already allocated $10 million for the Architect of the Capitol to investigate what went wrong that day, and law enforcement continues to conduct its investigation.…”
