Tim Ryan

But this is something that we think is very, very special. The projects that you spearhead are important.

I think there is definitely a general theme here, not with everything, but upgrade, technology, more of a focus, more of an investment.

Chairman Ryan, you are already an internal champion of increasing congressional capacity, as are many members who serve on this subcommittee.

I think that is something, again, talking about bipartisanship and finding an issue or two that we can rally around, that should be one of them.

We love the GAO. Phenomenal operation.

I urge this subcommittee to encourage the Capitol Police to adopt the same practice.

We have tried on this committee over the last couple of years to finally pay interns.

I hope you hear their stories through my voice today.

And what we want to do is, work with Phil Kiko, the Clerk, everybody who would be affected by some of these, prioritize them, figure out how much each of them costs.

I love the idea of Member leadership training.

I think it is very, very valuable.

We are in really good hands. We are very thankful.

That is what we do, the lifeblood.

And, Dr. Hayden, obviously, your leadership has been tremendous. And I love seeing you.

Well, anything we can do to help kind of cut through and expedite this.

We are always looking for ways, though, to save money.

We want as much help as we can get as soon as we can get it.

We literally can be out and the vote is being called, we don't hear the bell.

I think they are running a coup to get the Library to go to Washington State.

The people govern this country and the Congress governs.

The executive branch continuing to assume power on a variety of different issues, not just war and peace.

We have got a significant legislative/executive, balance of power issue.

I thank you so much. Again, please pass along to everybody how much we appreciate your work, and we are here to help you and support you.

Welcome to Congress. You are going to be a good one.

As can you see, we have very liberal policies here on the committee.
