“Again, I offer the chairman, Mr. Rogers, the opportunity to tell me why the President pardoned these drug dealers. I am proud of this institution and who we are. I am a Member of the House of Representatives, a former chairman of the committee. I would also ask the chairman: Why don't we do hearings? Why can't we bring the administration into the Foreign Affairs Committee and have them answer questions of Members of Congress on what they are doing and why they are doing it? That is our job. That is our responsibility. Have we had one hearing on Venezuela on drugs coming in? Not a one. Have we brought anybody in from the administration? That is our job. Why don't we do our job? That is why we were elected. I would hope that the chairman would have some hearings so that we can discuss this as Members of Congress.”
