to the committee. our staff do not make the judgments independently. all of those staff decisions, as to whether a case meets the mpse rubric for referral, are reviewed in a group of the member quality staff including the chief medical officer. >> with the committee's findings in mind, should your organization reevaluate its oversight efforts so more cases are referred to the committee? if you disagree, why not? >> what are these things that our conversation with your staff has -- one of the things that our staff has led to is that the current committee might not be aware of some of the issues past committees have made in explaining the rubric. now, we go over the rubric so each committee can endorse, amend or otherwise alter the description of what type of cases they would like to see and not simply rely on what a pass committee has decided. >> mr. friedman, in 2021, the u.s. digital service found that the unos cannot properly modernize its i.t. system and its core systems are fragile. this is concern

>> that's ultimately hopefully implicit with the search committee and by the committee itself.hat's probably a question for cate? >> that's correct. commissioner, the committee can do much of that work to determine criteria, develop lead characteristics and certain things and with the partnership search team will help you with developing those and with that vetting. >> great. thanks for the clarification. if commissioners are okay with it, >> roll call, please. >>clerk: [roll call] >> this motion passes. >> prepare to hear from me in the following days about this. >> with that said, i'm going to exercise my discretion as president to essentially move items out of order right now. i think it's getting later and of course we have quite a bit more to do. but maybe as we call acting director back, we can call up item 10, the director's report. is that item 10, that's item 12 on the agenda right now. >> >> as we wait for the acting director to return, item 12. >> update on the department of the environment budget. speaker: cyndy comerford, climate program manager. new staff introduc

[applause] committeeman tom and committee woman patty. ken henderson and all of the members of the committee that traveled here today. i am personally so excited to go to milwaukee for our convention. in the next two years we look forward to working with the mayor and everyone in the community to make this an event that not only highlights the rnc and our nominee for 2024, but highlights the great city milwaukee is. we are committed to using vendors and being part of this committee in a positive way that is going to be beneficial for everyone. everyone will want to come to milwaukee after this convention. some call it the brew city or the city that beer built. i do not drink which is kind of ironic. i might have to start drinking. [laughter] milwaukee is also home to the world's largest outdoor music festival and the birthplace of harley davidson. we picked a phenomenal city. political conventions are really special and uniquely american tradition. 2024 will be another chapter in a long story of great moments, great speeches and great can

we did something on our committee. we started our planning retreat with three hours in which we brought in someone with expertise in conflict resolution and we just talked about it. we had an honest conversation about it which frankly i don't think has happened anywhere else in the united states house but it happened in our committee. at the start of this congress i sat down with everyone of the committee members and of the 11, 8 mentioned i am worried about how january 6 is going to play into the work of our committee but three years from now when you can agree on what to have dinner gets thrown back in your face. so i thought it was important that we should just have a conversation is a committee about it. so that brings me to the general point. i think we have to get better as a country about having to conversations about things that we don't have full agreement on. i had two things happen earlier that have last fall. and into the winter. first in my district, unfortunately there was an attack on a religious institu

subpoena from our committee. our committee is intended to work with classified information there is nothing that would be the subject matter of this that cannot be disclosed or committee and we also are the committee that deals with the issue of national security threats and we want to know what was this imminent national security threat upon which this was based. we are also very concerned about the disturbing reports that there was an informant or 70 undercover at mar-a-lago or around former president donald trump and today we are seeing a letter to director ray demanding more from that he disclose the process by which that that informant was utilized were placed, what is the relationship between the fbi and the person that is reportedly been utilizing this process. we have a number of members that are going to speak each of us, the backyard and national security of classified information this is an issue that requires oversight and we will continue to demand this oversight i would like to turn over to brian fi

cheney will not be a member of that committee. what would that mean to the committee? >> well, her loss will be very considerable. it is our goal to finish our work the session. we intend to have more hearings in the fall, we intend to produce our report and our recommendations into as much as we can to act on those recommendations, but whether the committee continues or doesn't continue in her absence, it's a loss to the institution to have someone who i think is a true conservative, representative what the gop used to care about and believe in. but it's just not that same republican party of ronald reagan or john mccain. it is now every bit as flawed as its standard bearer, donald trump. >> pat cipollone has gone from standing on the senate floor opposing you in the impeachment trial of donald trump, the first one to now cooperating with the fbi, presumably telling the fbi everything he knows about the documents at mar-a-lago. we are seeing congresswoman cheney come close to a microphone, but what's your reaction to where pat ci

in committees and we're lucky we have 12 people on this committee.o our capacity to actually have dialogue is all right. you know, if you look behind you, the armed services committee really big. right? >> so, i mean, 11 thing to think about it is also the committee structure, right? i mean, kevin is talking about the complexity and you know, there's some things that can be done with simplification, but the there's a lot of things that congress has called on to legislate on and think about and oversee and i think if you had larger, larger congress, you might have the potential for more committees and subcommittees to that. there just has to be a level of specialization among members of congress. you know that it's really hard to be a generalist given all of the things that you need to be thinking about. so having a larger member having having more members might allow for more potential for people to really focus on particular subcommittees which you know where you could develop some real expertise. like there's a certain amount, you've just got to tr

off the committees.he speaker in the first time and ever of the house deciding who the minority party can put she is denied the republican conference and the power to choose the members for the first time ever. we have these new things happening that change the institution in my view and yet we look at this impeachment and sort of the kickoff for that kind of game. >> it was you had to live through so much and i will go back and iou will tell you. if there was a take away from this book. her institutions were set up foa a purpose that insured that people were hurt. the people that we represented should be heard in the hallsls f congress that means there's going to be a minority and majority that's the way we are set up. we are two party system and that's what we have it was never set up a parliamentary, it is move forward granted there was none to parties whenhe we first started. how are they heard. >> if i am the minority but i want our position to be heard then you have to have a process to committees

and agriculture committee. i just want to say that the scales of justice should be balanced in the eyes of justice should be blind as to who you are politically. i want to be very clear, the rank-and-file members of the fbi and the department of justice, they are brave men and women who do their job every single day. i think the doing an incredible job. however, the seventh floor the leadership of the fbi and the department of justice have been politicized in the eyes of most americans. i want to say perception is reality it does not matter if you doing right people perceive that you are doing wrong and the only way to change that perception is through transparency and allowing people to know that what you are doing is right in the eyes of justice in the scale of justice is balanced. as with the baseball shooting, over five years ago. i was there. the perpetrator is dead, however, to this day the fbi continues to use cover-up and hiding will not disclose the files even though the perpetrator is dead. we have ma

we were stuck in committee. you get the report and we prepare in committee to deal with the report. what were your thoughts going into that important hearing? it set the stage if it was going to be a time, last chance to back them down this was the chance. >> guest: it was here it was come into that november timeframe because if people haven't figured this out, the reason the title of the book is "the clock and the calendar" because i said clock in the calendar many times during this year and it was because i never felt that was based on facts. it was based on we got to present whatever we can because the clock and the calendar was kicking down the agenda first. january 1 was election year and anything that they would've done before then would've been or after that would've been in the house would've been perceived as political. more political than it already was. they were rushing this. what bothered me the most is, you brought this up, taking jerry nadler is own words about timing and how we were investigate. he was willing to throw all that away. when our first drinking remember

[applause] >> to this committee, the key point is, we have caught this committee line 8 different times. they have lied about a tour at the capital, they have lied about documents, they have lied about him writing the note, they have lied about the secret service, we have caught them lying about cooperating a story, if they went to the white house there would be charged, he said he did not say that. they lied about me twice, i forwarded a text message to the white house chief of staff, they say it came from me when i forwarded it. then they played a video clip of me during an interview. in the video clip i said the january 6 is the ultimate day of significance in the presidential contest because it is the last step. the last step is congress certifying the electors. they left out an important part of the clip. before i said it was the most important day in the electoral -- in the presidential electoral contest, i said the late justice ruth catered -- ruth nader ginsberg, their cotton eight -- they are caught in 8 false statements, without being of the look at the evidence, imagine how m

ways and means committee, armed service committee. >> we do have a broad jurisdiction. we will look at a lot of this. six weeks ago i asked dr. birx was the witness. >>>> she is the one with the scarf. >> i asked her a question. i asked her first question. i said when the biden administration told us the vaccinated could not get the virus, were they guessing or lying? response was amazing. she says i don't know. i said you're telling me our government could have been lying to we the people? she said i would like to think they were hopeful. so it was a guest, a lie or a hope? you think about this whole -- homeland security they were going to set up a disinformation governance or did -- governance board. they shut it down. the fact they were doing it and it begs the obvious question, who is the biggest purveyor of disinformation? it is the federal government. how many things have they told us? when they want to tell us what is disinformation when in fact -- i always do the virus. remember when biden said he had a plan? biden said he would never impose a vaccine mandate an

first session focused on the committee's responsibilities.the sphirs the need for assessment and system modeling with a high priority for many of the members i spoke with. we'll work during the first half of the year to ensure this is done and time to inform the spending plan that process that takes place in this spring. there are some oversight responsibilities related to implementation progress and timeline. that's work that has been happening at a quarterly basis. km we'll have expectations and see how it works in the cometting quarter, if we'll see if supreme a more current sense of how implementation is going. in particular, an interest around permanent housing acquisition and flexibility. reporting object spending and capacity added from the funds. we are planning on doing that as we laid out at the six month mark and year-enmark. that will be coming up. and a focus on racial disparities and racial equities. to the investment plan, people talk a lot about wanting to create more opportunities for dialogue with departments and the mayor's

committee? >> when mr. meadows became the fourth chief of staff, it is difficult to describe the day. i was special assistant to the president and advisor to the chief of staff. the days depended on what the president was doing that day and that is how my portfolio was reflected. had a lot of outreach with members of congress, senior cabinet officials. we would work on policy issues with relevant internal components and members on the hill. involving security protocols at the white house complex. >> he received another promotion in march of 2020. at that time you became the principal aid to any white house chief of staff, mark meadows. is that right? >> correct. what did a typical day look like for you and your work with mr. meadows? >> it varied with what was going on. we spent a lot of time on the hill. i was his liaison for capitol hill. we did a lot of presidential travel engagements. but mostly i was there to serve what the chief of staff needed. and often it was a reflection of what the pr

i passed all my findings to the members of the specialized committee.articipate in the working group already as an ombudsman of our state. i see how quickly the work is progressing and i am sure that this year, either in the first reading or in general, we will accept this draft law is the most important thing. why is work taking so long because i approached it with the principle that before even registering a draft law, it should be discussed with representatives of national communities, especially with those who constantly criticize ukraine's position that they are not consulted on this in the first place, i to the attention of the representatives of the hungarian national community i personally went to transcarpathia, met with them there several times, met with them several times in kyiv , so the process is quite difficult, let's say so. but nevertheless, in my opinion, we took into account fundamental things, and this is the creation of a separate state body created precisely at the level of the law , this is the creation of a public council under t

working with future committees, changes to the committee are possible to help us adapt to the future. i should also mention that priorities and what we acquire are sometimes determined by the administrations and by first families. during the obama administration, for example, there was a desire to collect more moderates for the collection. with the assistance of the committee we acquired some wonderful paintings by artists like joseph helpers, russian, berg albert thomas, roy liechtenstein. also during that administration the family dining room on the state floor was refurbished to specifically showcase modern design. i think, matt, you have a photograph of, that don't you? >> i do. we're going to segway into leslie, unless you also want to weigh in on acquisition and preservation. >> i could be really quick. it really starts, usually, with the curators. where the professionals, not only caring for the collection, but when i want to say as you understate your incredible role. you and melissa and the rest of the team. in finding those things and trying to stay under the radar while you

as the committee, we will get to the bottom of that.g with secret service in the situation has been reported, were text messages are not available or were erased off of phones. but we received hundreds of thousands of documents on the secret service. and a significant information from them that the committee is going through and will use in our investigation and as we conduct interviews of additional secret service agents. >> how much would you say you have learned that were unexpected? you obviously have a lot more information than the general public does in your head about what happened that day, but when he started these hearings earlier this year, did you have any idea how much you know about this one? >> it's been more information and more sophisticated and broader reaching effort than i understood coming into it. i think all of us in the committee have had that same reaction, which is that there is so much more that was happening in multiple, different areas, whether it was the pressure on state officials or the pressure on the ju
