I thank my friend for yielding. I am struck by a humorous observation when he talks about what happened in the other body to a lot of legislation. I believe it may have been Sam Rayburn who said, as a Democratic Speaker, the Republicans are in the opposition but the Senate is the enemy. Mr. Chairman, I, of course, meant no disrespect. I was simply quoting a former Speaker of this body.

in direct contradiction to Mr. Fisher's sworn statement, at a press conference on the evening of February 19, 2025, you stated, 'I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge.'
Elon Musk and DOGE can't be allowed to creep on Americans' most sensitive data as they operate in the shadows.
This threat is illegal, reckless, and yet another example of the cruel and arbitrary chaos Mr Musk is inflicting on the people's government and its dedicated public servants.
With no rancor and a full heart, I move into this final chapter full of pride in what we've accomplished together over 30 years.
