Emmett Till is one that the country suffers from, and I know there is still an investigation going on and I believe the Department of Justice has reopened that investigation.

Hate crimes have risen in this country and it has been the Klan, which used to use Stone Mountain as a place to assemble, and neo-Nazis, which we all saw in Charlottesville and we knew there were not fine people on both sides.

Is the gentleman ready to close? Is the gentleman ready to learn if a President has debts to Russia before he can count the money? Mr. McHENRY. I will inquire of the Chair; how much time remains on both sides. The Acting CHAIR. The…

It can't be the sole reason for denying a job, number one. That is what the bill says. And there are exemptions for circumstances when Federal, State, or local law call for it, or a national security clearance. Indeed, I think that if you…

Right. Mr. McHENRY. I understand that correctly. Is there any reasonable limitation--as an employer, is there any reasonable expectation for using a credit report in a hiring process, in your view?

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 162, line 15, after ``purposes'' insert the following: ``, including for the purpose of denying…

As I have an amendment at the desk, I stand and seek recognition. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 137, line 16, insert before the period the following: ``as soon as…

You should not agree to that.

You would agree with me that doesn't necessarily make it the gold standard, or right, does it?

If it was required, that you would look into the new owners of the hotel, and were they a foreign influence.

The Chinese and Russians have a plan. And if we're ready to cede this dual-use technology to the Russians and Chinese, we should make that decision because right now we're just sleepwalking into it.

Let me close out with that. I'm happy to hear the Russians have a plan because if the Russians have a plan, then Trump will have a plan.

We've got to get rid of single-use plastics or we're going to continue to spoil our environment, I mean, and kill animals.

There are costs of inaction. And those include the health impacts of these extreme events that we are increasingly seeing.

We know that heat waves and extreme heat events are going to increase as our emissions and our temperatures continues to rise.

Yes, we've made it clear that if you are a member of a foreign talent recruitment program, particularly related to countries at risk, you will not be employed by the Department of Energy.

The Democrats at least, is we did our duty, given to us in Article One, to look out for the Constitution and to take the sole responsibility of impeachment, and to utilize it to keep a President who was a rogue President, operating outside…

Nancy Pelosi would be a great card player because she knows when to hold them and when to fold them.

They didn't have a real defense. All they could do was talk in high-pitched voices, and loud, and - and - and take their coats off, and talk about the fact that the aid was released, or come up with a bunch of other hooey about the Bidens…

It was an impeachable act. It was a disavowing and disobeying his oath of Office. It was trying to get a foreign power to interfere in our elections and - and sacrifice our national security.

To any objective, logical-thinking, person, you'd say it increased to the lot. But McConnell is a political animal, and he's just trying to figure out how to save the President, and thereby save himself because he's really running low in…

I can guarantee Mitch McConnell stole a Supreme Court justice that Barack Obama should have had, Merrick Garland, from him, and who stole a whole bunch of district court judges and mine.

Well, it is sad in terms that we have a president who has committed offenses against the Constitution. The Constitution is our -- that's our guide. That's what we live by. That's our law.

They were shocked. They are independent Foreign Service officials. They are American patriots. They had no political thing in this at all. They risked their careers to testify and to immediately say this was wrong.

They should have a trial. There should be witnesses.
