Mark Meadows

I can't speak for my colleagues, but I have to say: We ought to be having hearings, it seems to me, about some of the pressing issues of the day.

As a small-business guy, that's something that I'm not going to stand for.

So is there a Federal guideline on what you would recommend to States in terms of how to secure their system?

But the real problem is that there is not a resource at this point at the Federal level.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I want to thank both of you for working in a bipartisan way on this particular piece of legislation.

I appreciate the gentleman opposite with his articulation of opposition; but I find it interesting because the last time I checked, he is not from Arkansas, which is the only State that actually is benefiting from this. And yet, his State…

Before I get into my amendment, I want to thank the chairman of the subcommittee and the entire staff for not only a very thoughtful bill that really requires very few amendments, but really working with Members of all different…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division B (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I want to applaud my good friend from Alabama, Mr. Palmer, and my colleague from North Carolina, Mr. Walker, for their work on this particular amendment. I couldn't disagree more with the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia. This is…

Obviously, the gentlewoman from California lays out an unbelievable claim that this is the lowest of low that has ever been seen in this body. I find that just remarkable that that statement could even be made. The other issue is we are…

I might remind the Speaker and all those who are in this Chamber today that this is about this very fundamental principle of this institution being able to do oversight. Since when is it not a good idea to have the documents from all…

I thank the gentleman for his leadership and tenacious spirit on this, and I reserve the balance of my time. Parliamentary Inquiry

The reality of this is the very document that the gentlewoman from Texas put up, that 500-page report, is actually investigative conclusions based on 1.2 million documents, of which this body--this body--has received less than 24,000 pages…

I thank the gentleman for his leadership on this particular issue, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I would make one comment. It is interesting, when the gentleman opposite, Mr. Speaker, is talking about motives and what is designed by this when we have not had a conversation about that. It is also interesting, when we talk about those…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I thank the gentleman for his leadership on this particular initiative in managing this bill. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 5925, the CRISIS Act, a bill I cosponsored with Chairman Gowdy; my good friend, the ranking member, Mr…

We're going to get to the bottom of it, like Mr. Comer was talking about.

I support what President Trump did in firing Comey. I think that was the right decision.

I find it very interesting that the gentleman opposite would claim to know my motives in that he has not talked to me about it. I also find it very ironic that the gentleman makes the argument that my amendment does absolutely nothing and…

Initiating an independent counsel investigation comes with many political and constitutional challenges. These individuals were vested with full power and independent authority to exercise all investigative and prosecutorial functions and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division B (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title I, add the following: SEC. ___. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE…

Now, to me, as a private business guy, this sounds absurd.
