“This Resolution falls far short of the mark of adequately expressing the concerns I've heard from my Oregon constituents and that I have myself. Its failure to include a mechanism to hold Congress accountable and ensure that we do our job is unacceptable. While concurring with the sentiment of outrage expressed against these acts and deploring those responsible, this Resolution is a very poor substitute for the oversight, fact-finding, and policy formulations that are the duties of this Congress. H. Res. 627 is window dressing, after the fact, and I refuse to support it.”
