I would suggest he read the resolution establishing the select committee. The scope of the committee is quite clear as to what our responsibilities are.

We will go where the facts lead us. Nothing is sacred.

It`s clear that this committee has to work. We`re not interested in people who are distracters in doing the work.

In a democracy, you can’t settle your differences by an insurrection. Democracy is settled at the ballot box, not by an insurrection is mob-like we had on the sixth.

If there are members of Congress who were complicit in what went on on January 6, our investigation will bring it out.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in support of H. Res. 503, a measure Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Next week will mark 6 months since the world watched in…

I applaud the Biden administration for selecting highly-qualified individuals who reflect the diversity of our great Nation.

It is unfair that one's worth determines the disaster when we are all Americans.

I have long had concerns about the lack of diversity in the Coast Guard, especially among its officer ranks and among its leadership.

We must honor his service by working to ensure more minority cadets enter and graduate from the Academy.

We look forward to partnering in 'Building the Coast Guard America Needs'.

The investigation made clear that the Lieutenant Commander's allegations were never investigated properly.

Fostering diversity is critical to building a culture that welcomes and celebrates varied perspectives and experiences and ensures the Coast Guard reflects the public it serves.

I hope you will commit to reading these statements and responding to the concerns they raise.

I am pleased the Biden administration is doing the hard work necessary to address the situation at the border for the long term.

I am pleased the Biden administration is giving these matters the attention and resources they demand.

The Members of the committee may have additional questions for the Secretary and we ask that you respond expeditiously in writing to those questions.

The health and welfare of Members, witnesses, and staff should not be a political issue.

I urge you, Mr. Secretary, to help ensure those remaining nominees reflect the diversity of the homeland your Department seeks to secure.

The attack on May 7 that resulted in the week-long shutdown of 5,500 miles of petroleum pipeline on the East Coast clearly represents a significant cyber attack on critical transportation infrastructure.

I commend the Biden administration for recognizing these actions for what they are--a threat to our National security.

Corruption adversely affects every aspect of society. It limits economic opportunities, fosters crime and violence, and erodes public trust.

I applaud Vice President Harris for engaging with political leaders about corruption during her visit to Guatemala and Mexico earlier this week.

Despite the claims of some of my colleagues, we do not need to return to the inhumane, cruel, and ultimately ineffective policies of the Trump administration.
