the only thing extraordinary about his offer is that he is asking the committee to close an investigation before the committee even gets to see the documents. he is pretending to offer. i can't accept that deal. no other committee chairman would. this committee will be considering today a very narrow contempt but members on both sides of the dais have repeatedly said that we owe it to the terry family to get to the truth. it is my intention to continue post contempt to do our job while meeting our other obligations to pursue waste, fraud and abuse in our government. with that, i recognize the ranking member for his opening statement. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i just want to first of all go back for one moment, and the document that you read from june 20th, 2012, the one that you and i just got from the deputy attorney general, i do believe that we need to study this and make sure that we understand exactly what the president is asserting here. but just want to quote from it. on the last page, page 4, it says the legal basis for the president's assertion of executive privilege

murrow devoted his program to attack on the work of the united states senate investigative committee, on me personally as its chairman. over the past four years, he's made repeated attacks on me and those fighting communists. of course, neither joe mccarthy or edward r. murrow is of any great importance as individuals. we're only important in our relation to the great struggle to preserve our american liberties. the senate investigating committee has forced out of government and out of important defense plans communists engaged in the soviet conspiracy. it's interesting to note that the viciousness of murrow's attacks is in contrast to our success in digging out communists. ordinarily i would not take time out for the important work at time to answer murrow. however, in this case, i feel justified in doing so, because murrow is a symbol, the leader and the cleverest of the jackal pack, which has always gone for the throat of anyone who dares to expose communists. >> what do you think? >> those attacks on murrow did joe mccarthy no good. by the time he was on the air in april of '54, h

grant had been shocked when he first arrived in washington to find a congressional investigating committee still conducting sessions on why lee eight months earlier was not pursued with more vigor after gettysburg. grant's friend general sherman told him for god's sake and for your country's sake come out of washington. as for members of congress, sherman later wrote his brother, "i hope grant will make it a death penalty for one of those guys to go south of the potomac." no, grant concluded early that he would travel with the army of the potomac. not only would his presence shield it from meddle some political intrusion from washington. grant also knew that lincoln had not been pleased with meade's cautious leadership. meade was a solid and conscientious soldier but neither he nor any of his predecessors had been able to make the army fight with a killer instinct. part of grant's mission, therefore, was to instill western tenacity and bearing into an army that had woefully lacked both so far in the struggle. now, negative reaction followed grant's appointment as general in chief. naturall

time in my view as expressed in this amendment is unwarranted because we have not as a committee done the investigation that needs to be done in order to establish a credible basis for the committee to take what will be historic action in contempt to the sitting united states attorney general and i say that as a member of the committee who is a strong supporter of the efforts of the committee including when it's led by a republican chair to get to the bottom of issues that affect the public interest and as a strong supporter of the use of the subpoena power of this committee whether it's being presented by a republican or democrat to get access to all of the information that we have, but on the other hand, i do think the committee has a responsibility to do as thorough an investigation as a predicate to asking for the contempt citation, and that's number one. number two, somehow, some way, a lot of people in this committee are trying to do this, by the way, i thought that many of the remarks of my colleagues were compelling and if there was a chance to get to the bipartisan approval of the unprecedente

this is a fundamental right of the investigative arm of the house of representatives. that's the committeenvestigations and oversight. for him to thwart it in this manner is a disgrace to his office. today, he disgraced the office and forced this vote by not complying. i said on the floor he has been in contempt. he is in contempt. and he has contempt for the people of the united states. and the department of justice by his actions mica, you've suggested they have been using it at an excuse. you've doubled down in recent days. what is your evidence, sir? >> well, first, just go back. i mean, the great thing, you can google now, orb just go on the internet and search. and look at the administration. their whole theory. their whole plan was that the violence in mexico was due to weapons, united states weapons, getting into mexico. that is a completely bogus argument. i chaired criminal justice and drug policy subcommittee. i know what went on. there's corruption from one end of mexico to the other. there's drug trafficking. there's murders. there's gangs. and the next thing they'll be asking

quite frankly, i'm a member of the investigative committee, one of the senior members of the panel. i don't take our investigative facts and information from a magazine or some article. all we're interested in and all we're responsible for doing is finding out who did what, getting the pertinent documents. this is an investigative arm of the house of representatives. there's no reason why we should be denied the documents to get to the truth of this. you know, this isn't some -- we're going to make up fantasy stories or take parts of information from some writer. this is a serious investigation. people were killed -- >> let's go back to what the writer is saying. this is not her opinion. she's saying there are five people -- >> i don't care if there are five or 10 or 20. >> the atf said it didn't happen. you don't care about what they're saying? >> ewith want all their information. if their testimony is pertinent, we'll bring them in. what we're asking for is the documents that are in possession of the government. and in this case, of the department of justice or any of its personne

i pressed the oversights investigations committee under darrell issa to conduct an investigation into the conduct of afghan security forces and the hack of oversight at the dawood military hospital where in part $42 million of u.s. military aid has been missing, unaccounted for, where the general officer in charge of that hospital was merely transferred, was never relieved, where afghan police and afghan soldiers were dying in the hospital for malnutrition and from a hack of medical care because the families couldn't come up with the necessary bribes. certainly it speaks to a lack of oversight for isaf personnel, the monitors, but also it speaks to not just the culture of corruption but also just the fact that to what extent have we formed the military organization that, i mean, how capable are they when they would allow this to

with ic officers and review materials, public sources, there is a clear need for a formal investigation. committee has materials suggesting the agencies were directed to expand the scope of classified information they gave to the press. we know in some cases someone from a segment of the media was present in a classified sighting. recent lay group of intelligence officers i said before has disclosed directly how many of the leaks over a period of years have made their jobs more difficult in their liaison relationships and their ability to interact with sources and assets around the world who are doing great things for their own countries and the united states as well. just today the cia informed it cannot respond to our requests for information regarding the leaks. a very troubling event indeed. the doj's national security division recused itself from at least one element of the investigation suggest something of the leaks could have come from the sources within the doj or the fbi. from publicly available comments it appears the sources of these leaks could be in a position to influence the invest
