Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) for yielding to me, and I appreciate him bringing this issue up, as he did in the Rules Committee at the time of the hearing.

I want to assure the gentleman and each of the Members of this body that the gentleman who will be the new chairman of the committee, the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy), has every intent to make sure that his work, the assignments that will be given as they move forward, including travel, will be done on a fair basis.

Mr. Gowdy is aware of and knows the sensitive nature of not only the investigation, but also how this will be handled; and Mr. Gowdy, I assure you, is very prepared to match and to meet the Members that Ms. Pelosi has put on the committee, and I think that you will see that the Members who will serve as a result of the Speaker appointing them will serve with honor and distinction and will work well and fairly together.

I thank the gentleman for asking the question.
