committee. secondly, oce referrals carry no extra weight meaning the ethics can he does not have to consider any of their referrals. third, at the ethics committee does not decide to investigate a complaint at that oce refers, the committee starts from scratch and does not even use any of oce's materials. despite having congress in his name, oce only has jurisdiction to investigate the house of representatives. the senate does not have a corresponding entity. this calls into question the senate does not need a similar entity, what value does oce add to transparency and accountability that the house at the many does not already provide? -- health -- house ethics committee does not provide? let me be clear. i support transparency and accountability. i believe all of congress should be held to the highest ethical standards, but also have confidence in my colleagues on the ethics committee. in the 15th here's of its existence, has not have any oversight. the goal of this hearing is to establish form

ethics committee, and the rules committee. however, after nearly two decades of existence, the opposite of congressional ethics haven't testified before congress. i'm glad to see that ended today. the committee house administration continues our aggressive oversight agenda. i think the american people deserve to have that confidence that congress is accountable, and that congressional entities are accountable for the american people. that is why the ethics committee's work is so critical. the office of the congressional ethics was formed as a separate office to review the conduct of members of staff, non partisan and independent manners. oh see is supposed to uphold the rules and ethics of the house. there is evidence that this has not always been the case. even today, oce's leadership continues to avoid accountability. as we do with each invited witness, we offer oce staff director and chief counsel, mr. ashmawy, the opportunity to share his views on the operation and if his work here, in both committee rules and house rules

and this committee is on it. so, i am just optimistic about what you can do, working together, and what we would all like to do to help you. this is a happy little band of bipartisan friends. and we are here to help. and i think it was an inspired idea to have this hearing, to let us all hug each other again, thank you. >> excellent. mr. lobiondo? >> think you mister chairman, chairman turner and mr. himes for putting this together. it is an honor and pleasure to be here today, to share my inserts from serving on the house intelligence committee for the final eight years of my 24 year tenure in the united states congress. my time on the committee was certainly some of the most personally rewarding and professionally challenging of opportunities in my career of public service. it is the privilege to have been appointed to ic, to chair the cia subcommittee for a period of time. as you know, there are many aspects of serving on fc that we can't discuss beyond the walls of the scif. most americans will never know the

first, let me say that our internal committee is actually the truth committee. dr. site finder of the riots review committee was a special review of the fourth president. in fact , it is another of the transformational views and holding oneself responsible and being accountable. it stems from the fact that the islamic republic is responsible for all the manifestations of my own governance in front of everyone and the responsibilities. i accept and absolutely every civilized person is doing his homework from inside the investigation of the unrest, mr. doctor, when we look at it, it is a unique combination that actually includes all powers, but it is not a government, but it is not a government. this scientific committee of the human rights headquarters, the secretary of the human rights headquarters is a member of this committee. the head of the human rights committee of the islamic council of the majlis was the manifestation of the people and the governance of the people has a representative here in this mr. dr. mozafar who is the head of the committee from the

, and we can't have committees which are effectively beyond criticism.o think that if we go down this route, then frankly the committee is never going to stop having to follow up with mp5. thangam, what's your view? well, it's interesting. i mean, chris mentions the free speech angle, which i know quite a lot of mps have made, and the committee takes it head—on and they say in point 18... you have a highlighted copy! i'm not going to read aloud because you've got listeners and viewers to entertain. but i mean, serious point here... the point they are trying to make is that free speech is at the heart of our democracy. and at the same time, this was a procedure which all of us had agreed upon. we'd all vote... well, we didn't need to vote, we were unanimous in our support for the membership of the committee, which we knew from the start. we knew that it was a majority tory mps, four tory, one snp and two labour. we knew who was going to be the chair. and all along there was a steady stream of criticism and undermining. the power of the court of law is mis

at questioning the witnesses in today's committee hearing. i want to thank chairman smith and chairman jordan for their cooperation and working with the oversight committee on this investigation. this is an important joint effort that shows the american people that accountability matters regardless of your last name. for this hearing, opening statements will be limited to ten minutes for the chair and ten minutes for the ranking member. i now recognize myself for the purpose of making an opening statement. since assuming a republican majority in january, the house oversight committee has made historically fast progress in our investigation into the biden family influence peddling schemes. just six months, we have obtained thousands of pages of financial records. this includes bank records for biden family associates and suspicious activity reports generated by the biden and their associates -- dollars and foreign business transactions. what these records reveal is astonishing. the bidens created over 20 shell companies, most of which were cre

been a very helpful partner in helping me lead this committee. mr. chairman, this is a good bill. i want to address this to my conference. there is absolutely no reason why any republican should vote against this bill. it will enhance the congressional oversight of the d.o.d. it will improve the quality of life for our service members and their families, and it will help build the ready, capable, and lethal fighting force we need to deter the chinese communist party and other adversaries. i urge all members to support the bill. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the question is on the amendments en bloc offered by the gentleman from alabama. those in favor say aye. those opposed say no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the en bloc amendments are agreed to.

he was not appointed to 2 different committees. not appointed the task force and i urge you to reject his application today. and send a recommendation to appoint ruth ferguson. and the gentlemen applying for seat 3. >> thank you. >> speaker time, >> thank you. >> thank you. sorry for cutting you off we are allowing 2 minutes today. can we have the next speaker? >> hello good morning. this is bari toronto i happened to catch the meeting. first i want to say that i'm hoping that dominica learned about the taxis are regulated by the mta. regarding david pilpel the sunshine task force could not go without the appointment david pilpel because of his knowledge of city codes and ordinance. and the charter. and various departments i know about the sfmta. there were issues regarding finances. and it is various ways of how it approves various rules and regulations and different changes to the street scape and muni service. i think now you need somebody who knows how to go through public records and obtain them. nought opinion needs all the h

we'll have other members of the committee come up in a bit. tomorrow, senator durbin is decided to take up legislation that i think is fundamentally constitutionally flawed, should make every american afraid, and what am i talking about? two things can be true at the same time. liberal democrats have been trying to destroy the roberts court for quite a while now because they don't like the outcome of senator decisions. sen. graham: and their words, not mine. and now we have high profile cases of justices taking a trip, taking trips. two things can be true. the court probably needs to address that issue. i think they do. i believe they will. and congress needs to stay out of the court's business. the supreme court was founded by the constitution of the united states. it was created by the constitution as a separate branch of government. one thing that we're going to do tomorrow as republicans is stand up for the constitution separation of powers when it comes to the operation of the supreme court. this is what schumer started. went over to the

khimovich in the name of the central committee of the vkpb , called through the regional committees vkpb and the land authorities sent calls with a request for secondment of specialists. only 246 out of 850 registered people arrived at our disposal, specialists from the saratov region, where there are still 43 people from penza 26, are especially bad gorkovskaya 28 people but there were no complaints, people worked selflessly in the hope of reviving the village, helping the army and the country . the republic was raised by the heroism of people. so kirill mazurov later recalled this period as the first secretary of the gypsies of the party of the republic on the part of the leadership. everything was done to support the peasants in those difficult conditions; measures; various loans for farms ; christianity remained in the western region. therefore, the first event that was told in this region. it was the allotment of land to the peasants. that is, they were returned. the land that they owned before the german attack on the soviet union took into account the specifics of the region,

, it is taken into account by the committee, i put the 33rd amendment for confirmation, i ask you to support and vote for 243, the decision was adopted, the next amendment is 61, i will find it now, this is the 61st amendment , also authored by hetmantseva and colleagues tymoshenko puts it is taken into account by the tymoshenko committee , an amendment is put for confirmation , people's deputies are asked to vote for 251, the decision was adopted, the amendment remains taken into account, amendment 98, the 98th amendment is ours the authorship of the amendment is partially taken into account; at the same time, such a decision of the committee regarding the partial inclusion of the deputy tymoshenko puts to the confirmation of the ordinary deputies to vote on the 98th amendment for 255 the decision was adopted, the amendment remains partially taken into account amendment 170th amendment 170th amendment 170th amendment of the authorship of hetmantseva taken into account by the committee tymoshenko puts this amendment for confirmation i put 170 amendment for confirmation i ask you to v

we don't know when rules committee will meet again. we don't know whether we are going to meet again this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow, we had one member of the freedom caucus say, we could meet in august. or after august. this notion of everything being held hostage because of a small group of right-wing extremists just has to stop. we are about to approach appropriations season. i don't know how the hell you are going to get appropriation bills through here with some of the stuff that's being forced on to those bills. some of the cuts that are being forced. as i said earlier, cuts in programs like w.i.c., women, infants, and children. meals on wheels? really? that's where -- that's the priorities of this republican majority? this has to stop. this has to stop. state tuned, everybody, how this all plays out. but we don't know whether we are going to finish this bill this week or whether it will be next week or some time into the future. but this is not the way congress should be run. and certainly i would urge the speaker to stand up

thank you, dear colleagues, vasyl's amendment ivanovych mokona 52 was rejected by the committee , at same time you heard that the position is such that it would be good to support it ah and that's why i put the 52nd amendment of people's deputy mokran into consideration and ask people's deputies to vote for 250, the decision was made dear colleagues, we have completed the amendments to be taken into account, no one insists anymore, there will be five more amendments for confirmation and after that we will vote for the whole bill, the amendments for the confirmation of the southerner, start with the number, please , petrivna, with the number of the amendments, i wanted you to the budget code still treated it as a fundamental law that determines the rules of conduct and annual budgeting, and when this law was submitted for the implementation of the agreements with the memorandum on with the imf, according to the memorandum, i was sure that well, not here will already play and submit all the amendments, all the pretensions that are possible, but i was wrong because of the fifth amendmen

it was rejected by the committee. it was authored by vasylchenko and colleagues . the amendment is put to the vote. please vote for 48. the decision has not been made. please next halyna, what is the next amendment of 18:44 , which refers to the non-applicable application of fines if natural persons-entrepreneurs do not use the pro, in fact, so that you have a moratorium on the application of fines for non-use of settlement transaction registrars was extended until the end of martial law. why is this amendment important? you know that there are many regulations in this draft law that provide for the application of fines, whether it is certain types of checks that are returned and everything else. this is all aimed at the business that already exists a registered person who pays taxes but receives very little attention from the state and turns to the side where business activities are generally carried out without any registration, i.e. the relevant state bodies do not carry out their work properly and do not bring to the wall that business that really works but doe

this committee demands justice, along with the other committees involved. i thank you for this hearing. thank you to our witnesses. >> i would like to get right into some basic vetting questions. unfortunately, our colleagues across the aisle failed to do so with some of the previous witnesses that they called. mr. ziegler and shabbily, i am hoping that these are very simple, straightforward questions. i'd like to ask that you answered them with a yes or no answer. mr. shabbily, are you now, or have you ever acted in the unregistered foreign agent for the chinese government, or for any other government? >> no. >> mr. ziegler, are you now, or have ever acted as an unregistered or a registered foreign agent? >> no. >> have you ever participated in illegal arms trafficking? >> i have not. >> and mr. ziegler, how about yourself? >> i have not. >> mr. shabbily, have you ever been indicted of a crime, lied to investigators well under oath, or run from the law? >> i have not. >> mr., ziegler same question to you. have you ever been indicted, lied to investigators,

thank you, what is the position of the committee, please ?h, and this amendment does not apply at all to the procedure for selecting judges of the constitutional court, the subject of this law, the head of the legal department had comments on the correctness of the wording in order to make the application of the laws in time clear, but it does not apply to this draft law, so uh, well, you know how we say that the logic is that this amendment may not be supported now. committee amendment, but davyd yuriy sherehamiya asks to put such an amendment and the decision of the committee, the amendment that a judge of the constitutional court can submit an application for resignation if he has served as a judge of the constitutional court for at least 7 years , yes, there is a proposal to put 422 amendment for confirmation, please vote for this the amendment arkhamiya asks not to vote for it , please for 32, the decision was not made dear colleagues, i will ask for two minutes from the committee, please ivana orestivna klim pushkinsatsiya after that we
