I am grateful to my colleague and friend, Congressman Brad Wenstrup, for serving on our first panel today.

I think we make a terrible mistake--and I am through--when Members get elected and there is a Democratic bus and there is a Republican bus right at beginning.

You know, you mentioned the baseball field, you know, only because Leader Scalise was a Member of leadership was Capitol Police even present that day.

My hope is, regardless of which party holds the gavels, that that Subcommittee continues, because the work of institutional improvement needs to continue.
