Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, again, I agree this is important information. However, this should not be our approach, except on issues where the executive branch has continuously, and over a period of time, refused to respond to basic inquiries. On climate issues, the Foreign Affairs Committee has not had any issues obtaining core information that is shared on a bipartisan basis. In fact, both Secretary of State Blinken and Special Envoy Kerry addressed this question in their hearings in front of our committee last year. Again, I would be willing to work with Representative Crenshaw, and everybody else who is interested in a bipartisan way, to request this hearing. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
