BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman Thompson for his leadership.

While the events of January 6 were devastating and will stain our country's history forever, I have no doubt that democracy will prevail.

This Nation has fought back against hatred, authoritarianism, and fascism since the very founding.

Yes, I stand proudly today to ask for a January 6 commission so that we can develop a full public record that will let us know how we can avoid this in the future.

We should all vote ``yes.''
