Mr. Speaker, this charge laid about subpoena powers is a red herring. Every House committee holds subpoena power, though the structure differs depending on the committee. Granting this standard authority to the select panel ensures its ability to investigate thoroughly the issues within its scope. It would make little sense to convene a select investigative panel with limited investigative power. I reserve the balance of my time.
