Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chair for yielding me some time on this issue.

Less than 2 weeks ago, Donald Trump, a former President and Presidential candidate, was inches away from being assassinated. Thousands at his rally were put at risk.

As my colleagues from Pennsylvania mentioned, two people were injured, and Corey Comperatore was tragically killed while protecting his family. All this happened because of a catastrophic failure on the part of government security forces.

The resignation of Secret Service Director Cheatle is the first step toward holding failures accountable, but there is so much work to be done. We need to get to the bottom of this failure, and we need to do it now.

Mr. Speaker, I support this legislation, and I urge my colleagues to do the same. We must get answers to the American people.
