It is important for the U.S. Government to report accurately and honestly on these developments as we have serious, frank conversations with Saudi Arabia about the responsibilities they bear to uphold human rights and dignity.

We absolutely should not allow these individuals free entry or access to the United States.

It is unacceptable that this information has been withheld from us.

I am proud to cosponsor Mr. Malinowski's bill because it will require the DNI to produce a report with the information we have been seeking from the Trump administration.

The timing of this could not be more appropriate.

I am proud to support Mr. Malinowski's bill, the Saudi Arabia Human Rights and Accountability Act of 2019 as a cosponsor.

I feel a little bit like the image of Diogenes with his lantern trying to find one honest man in town when it comes to my Republican friends in holding the Trump administration accountable.

I'm sorry it took the tax bill to be the incentive to do it, but I'll take it.

I had an amendment to add $15 million to that $35 million to just get a respectable number.

I think that this is something we can find some common ground on, and we need to work in the next budget cycle hopefully together.

We're missing an opportunity here. How can we better encourage that org chart and that hierarchy of efficient responsibility?

When you report to the boss and everyone knows you report to the boss, that carries weight

If you report to the deputy assistant under widget manager in the bowels of the basement, everyone can figure that out

Our view is the law is the law. We passed the law. It's quite clear what the intent is.

When it comes to datacenters, what is the language of the law?

We've got to set metrics. So Agency X, we all agree you've got 340 and after some consultation and all that, the goal is to reduce a hundred of them

The goal here is to be more efficient, move to the cloud, don't have all these little stovepipes all over the place

And what's the goal besides an inventory?

I'm the one person in this White House who went to a hearing on impeachment and subpoenas and nothing like that was discussed at all.

We can be civil. And my experience this weekend was a big improvement. So thank you.

For everyone who works at D.C. Veterans Medical Center, from the custodian to the cardiac surgeon, there must be one standard, one standard, and that's one of excellence.

We should never have to tell this story. Men and women who put on the uniform to protect our country had every reason to believe they would receive the highest quality healthcare as a statement of our commitment to them.

What the Inspector General, Michael Missal, politely deemed, and I quote, a culture of complacency, but what I, frankly, would have called a culture of indifference

The conditions were so appalling that the Office of Inspector General took the highly unusual step of issuing an interim report

When you say inactivated, it just sounds so Nixonian.
