The rules of the House require that every bill must have a stated single purpose to be filed. Was such a statement filed, and if so, what is the single purpose of H.R. 2670? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will not respond to…

The body can't ask a question as to what the stated single purpose of this conference report is? It is not a hypothetical. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will respond to parliamentary inquiries relating to a pending measure.

The pending measure is on the suspension of the rules for H.R. 2670. The SPEAKER pro tempore. There is no measure pending at this time. Parliamentary Inquiry

I find it interesting that people not related at all to your mission... I would think the FBI would know best what its mission requirements are.

The American people smell a rat here.

It seems to me that Ms. Albert was brought in to fix the situation, to get the result that was wanted.

I think that the Regional Commissioner was impartial because on the previous report--I know you don't have it in front of you, but I am showing it to you [indicating report]--the name of that person is redacted, right?

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 707. ____________________

So, you are saying the person--wait, the person whose name was redacted here [indicating report] made the decision to replace themselves with Ms. Albert?

I will say upfront I am not convinced the FBI needs a brand new building.

This whole process started more than 15 years ago.

Ironically, if it wasn't for the bureaucratic maze and politics, right now there would already be a new FBI headquarters in Maryland or Virginia.

But when the Trump Administration attempted to propose a more realistic solution, including a P3, the Democrats cried foul.

I hope you do. I am wondering, was there any outside input into that decision from anyone in the Maryland elected delegation, or the Virginia delegation, or OMB?

This whole process started more than 15 years ago, but there hasn't even been a shovel in the ground.

I am not convinced the FBI needs a brandnew building.

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 15, line 18, strike ``and''. Page 16, line 7, strike the period and insert ``; and''. Page 16, after line 7…

I would like to begin by thanking Chair Foxx for her hard work in an effort to try to right our country and the committee that she so artfully presides over. This amendment, Mr. Chairman, simply adds international organizations to the…

My good friend and colleague talks about protecting national security and implies that somehow this amendment would imperil that. I don't understand how letting Americans know more about who is providing funds internationally to our…

I thank my good friend, the gentleman on the other side of the aisle, but, again, transparency is key. Universities have become, unfortunately, as we have seen in our public media on this very day and on these very days, hotspots for…

I think the best and different approach would be to leave Title IX alone as it was originally intended to be interpreted.

this proposal complicates it.

The law does not care about feelings. The law is the law, so that we have a method of American constitutional governance.

the fact of the matter is just the second of these two rules is patently unconstitutional and will not survive a legal challenge.

to say that somehow 'sex,' when it was adopted, was somehow ambiguous is just patently untrue.
