let's discuss with adam kinzinger. thanks for joining us. the creator of the powerpoint visited the white house and briefed members of congress, spoke to mark meadows who was then the white house chief of staff, but what questions do you have for him about the extent of this planning and coordination? >> i think that is it. i think it is a lot of, you know, who did you talk to and why and where did you get this information from. can you talk about anything else on that level, because we've interviewed over 300 people and i know things like meadows contempt and bannon contempt get a lot of attention as they should because they need to come in front of the people's legitimately constituted inquiry into this stuff. but there is a lot of people that are giving us a lot of information and this could be a key piece to that. the reality is about a year ago now, and i can't believe it is been a year and it is ten years ago and yesterday at the same

there were only two republicans that voted yes, liz cheney of wyoming, and adam kinzinger of illinois. they're the only two republicans that also sit on the january 6th select committee. every single other republican voted no against allowing the congress to enforce its subpoena laws, which gives the congress the authority to call someone before them to answer questions if it's a matter that they believe has a legislative purpose. and the committee believes that their work in investigating january 6th is a key legislative purpose that will ultimately result in changes to the way congress does business. and then, you know, to that end, what other information they find out about the attacks that happened on january 6th. so this isn't a surprise, don. of course the big question is how long will it take the department of justice to deliberate whether or not they will prosecute this case? what we saw play out here today is essentially a recommendation. they write up a report. they give all the evidence and information they have to say that they believe that an individual has, you know, ign

kinzinger and cheney the two who are on it. the thing has moved so far toward the denial of 1-6 as a riot. >> not just that the denial of facts having to do with all sorts of things. so there was a republican gubernatorial debate in minnesota. the moderator's first question was basically, was joe biden -- i mean it could have been, you know, is the moon made of green cheese or something like that, but just like some sort of fact or not, the question about whether or not biden was constitutionally elected which of course he was. this is not really a matter for debate. here are some of the responses. >> i don't know. i think we have to take that attitude toward 2020 >> i do believe there was voter fraud and a massive steal across this country. i think -- >> i don't think the election was fair but i do think we have the results that we have and the electoral college is the way we determine the election >> i mean, is the earth round? you know? is water wet? these are the topics now for republican gubernatorial debates. nobody said

committee member adam kinzinger on gop lawmakers. take a listen. >> do you think that some of your republican colleagues bear direct responsibility for that riot? >> it's possible. we'll pursue doggedly everything to the ends of the earth and that includes, we don't like necessarily having to go here, but that includes members of congress. >> do you think that is just the starting point? >> it is just the starting point. i know some people may be frustrated when they hear adam kinzinger or others say we are looking into it trying to do a thorough investigation and not give a clear answer but we want an investigator to actually behind closed doors get all the facts, sift them out, and then reach a considered judgment not on national tv but through an official proceeding and the like. everything has been done to the book by the january 6 committee. they deserve a lot of credit for moving and getting all this information. my only quibble is it has taken a long time. we are almost at a year since the january 6 event and i think this thin

there are folks like yourself, there are kinzinger and cheney.consider yourselves republicans or conservatives who are opposed to trump. i think you've left the party and cheney and kinzinger haven't. and then there's the attempts by christie and nancy mace to find some sort of middle ground or something that's, you know, trump adjacent but critical in certain ways. and it just strikes me that even if there was i amarket for it among the voters of the general population, within the party itself there's just no demand for that essentially. >> no. this is -- the party is the donald trump party. this is sometimes i think we make the mistake of looking at the republican party and saying how did they go wrong here, how did they take this wrong turn or something, how did they get hijacked? none of that happened. this is what the republican party wants to be. this is why i was really forced when i confronted this myself, which was not a pleasant experience, to call this book i wrote "it was all a lie." because i don't know any other way to reconcile thi

kinzinger has also pointed out the fact the committee are focused on the days and weeks leading up tors of the stop the steal rally. among the communications are messages from lawmakers and members of trump's inner circle. alexander is such a key witness for the committee looking into the days and weeking up to january 6th because he can potentially help them understand how is this rally organized? how was it funded and erupt into violence? we could see more witnesses this week. >> how it was organized, who helped. paula, thank very much. >>> moments apg, president biden arrived back at the white house. he is meeting this morning with his covid-19 team of advisers as concerns grow about the omicron variant. details on how he's planning to respond, the message he's preparing to send tomorrow, those are coming up. because you're forever connected by love... two touching center diamonds, representing the connection you share. forever connected. the perfect gift to give this holiday. exclusively at kay. from the very first touch, pampers, the #1 pediatrician recommended brand, helps keep

as far as members of congress they want to hear from. >> let's listen to more of what congressman kinzingerhy. >> kevin mccarthy on the other hand has not said a word about anything. except for that donald trump is probably the greatest president to ever exist and kevin mccarthy himself i think made donald trump relevant again when two weeks after january 6 or so he went back down to mar-a-lago and brought him back to political life by putting his arm around him, taking that picture, and sending a signal to the rest of the republicans who were pretty quiet at this moment that we got to get back on the trump train. he bears responsibility for that. i don't think history books will be kind to him. >> we do know kevin mccarthy was in some communication with the white house but at this point we don't know whether it was text or voice. the voice communication of course will be harder to get an accurate reading on. >> kevin mccarthy was a very effective star burst sorter for donald trump. not so effective when it comes to showing integrity or honor but we know from impeachment number two that kev

i don't but we'll see. >> congressman adam kinzinger, thank you so much for being with us. your growing family. >> thank you, jake. back at you. >>> back to the breaking news this morning, senator joe manchin, democrat of west virginia, saying he will vote no on president biden's build back better agenda. let's go to one of six house executives who rejected biden's request last month to trust him to get all 50 democrats to pass the bill and push forward on the infrastructure bill. joining us now democratic congresswoman presley from virginia. you were right. let's get your reaction to the news joe manchin said he will not build yes on build back better. >> jake, to be clear, my lack of trust was about senator manchin. he's continued to move the goalpost, he's never negotiated in good faith and obstructing the president's agenda, 85% is still left on the table. in obstructing the president's agenda, he's obstructing the people's agenda. i was listening to his interview earlier today, and he said it's a mammoth bill. you're right, it's a mammoth bill to address mammoth hurt t

mostly along party lines with vice chair liz cheney and congressman adam kinzinger, joining democrats to vote in favor of contempt. the top democrat and republican on the committee say the measure had nothing to do with executive privilege or immunity, but it's all about meadows' refusal to questioned about the material he handed over. on monday night, lawmakers read aloud text messages from members of fox news, and donald trump jr. pleading with lawmakers to stop the attack. and this time about efforts to overturn the election. >> on november 4th, a member of this body wrote to meadows, here's an aggressive strategy. one day art election. why can't the states of georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania and other republican-controlled state houses declare this is b.s.? where conflicts in election not called that night. and just send their -- just send their own electors to vote and have it go to the scotus? the supreme court. united states. how did this text influence the planning of mark meadows and donald trump to try to destroy the lawful electoral college majority that has been estab

one of two republicans on the january 6th select house committee, congressman adam kinzinger, on whereestigation goes from here, ahead. >>> i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is expecting to get covid. once again americans are waking up to news of postponements and cancellations, sports games, theatrical performances, holiday parties, schools, family plans, as covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths are rising again throughout the country. hospitalizations and deaths especially hitting the unvaccinated. new york city and washington, d.c., both reported two days of record high cases and health experts are warning of a tough month ahead. still the world in 2021 is different than it was in march 2020. officials say they are better prepared for the surge, they point to vaccines and boosters as the best way to control the virus and prevent serious illness. all true. and yet this fourth wave is exposing real weaknesses in how the u.s. has dealt with the virus especially when it comes to testing. on tuesday, we're told president bide listen give a speech on the omi

. >> manu, two republicans, liz cheney and adam kinzinger, both members of the january 6th committee, voted for this meadows contempt resolution along with democrats. seven had vote forward steve bannon's referral. neither number particularly large, but did they explain their differences between one vote and the other? >> we heard very little from those members but we do -- a lot of them were siding with their former colleague and indicated this was different than what happened with steve bannon. of course, bannon at the time was not a member of the administration. mike meadows and january 6th was the white house chief of staff. but the republican leadership made clear they wanted all of their members on the house side to vote no. they recommended a no vote. just two, kinzinger and cheney, members of the committee were the only ones who voted to go forward with this contempt referral. but the seven others who voted for steve bannon's contempt referral, they voted no, including several of those who also voted to impeach donald trump. john katko of new york, anthony gonzalez of ohio. al

adam kinzinger and liz cheney. so out goes jim jordan, out goes jim banks that might actually look into -- if anyone request a guard, why didn't you call them on? they might want to talk to the whistle-blower that was saying they were told to stand down. by the way, and comes liz and adam. where is the committee that is looking into the summer of 2020 writing? adam and liz, they have one obvious goal here. their goal is to purge the republican party of donald trump and his supporters and make it impossible for trump to run again for president. that, sadly, it's what they are doing here that's what i have no faith in the committee, that's why it is a sham, that's why it is the latest witch hunt. we have had how many witch hunts for how many years? last night in a weak attempt to smear yours truly, and presumably i guess president trump, congresswoman cheney presented one of my text messages from january 6th to mark meadows. surprise, surprise, surprise, i said to mark meadows the exact same thing i was saying live o

we obviously expect adam kinzinger and liz cheney to vote yes. will you have some of the ten republicans who voted for impeachment aside -- the other eight aside from adam kinzinger and liz cheney? we don't know the answer to that. it has been noteworthy to watch, the way -- the passion of all of these members of the committee, they're speaking because they're so outraged, not because -- not in spite of the fact that he is a former member of congress, but because of the fact that he is a former member of congress. he genuinely is somebody who was well liked across the aisle. he did work with democrats despite being a conservative, despite being a chair of the freedom caucus for a while. they're really disgusted clearly with the fact that he's not complying with what he understands is a necessity. >> he knows better. >> he knows better. and we know he knows better because we know what he said when the shoe was on the other foot, when he was trying to get information from the obama white house. >> david, if the u.s. justice department does decide t

liz cheney and adam kinzinger. but will check on. that paul butler, as you watch what is going on and now this goes to the doj, is it similar or is it completely different than that consideration of what should happen to steve bannon? >> it's pretty much the same, except that mark meadows is even a more compelling witness. he's already provided the committee with tax and documents that suggests he was down and gritty with donald trump on january 6th. but now meadows refuses to talk, even about the evidence he's provided the committee. the committee has heard testimony from more than 300 witnesses and obtained over 35,000 documents, but meadows's testimony could be key to holding the insurrectionists and their congressional enablers and oval office enablers accountable. and chris, if meadows is ultimately found to be in criminal contempt, he faces a minimum sentence of a month in prison. it could be up to a year. but here's the thing, the panel would much rather have his testimony. so, tonight's vote could be the ultimate pressure for

and so a lot of what kinzinger alludes to is in the public record. from november, december, and january of 2020, 2021, who were part of trying to overturn the presidential election. and i think the january 6th committee is going to put together a lot of public information in addition to some of the private information to sort of tell that story a little more vividly. there's a lot out there already on that, john. . >> look, the question, susan, may be did they know or did they plan or did they hope the insurrection would look as it did, or were they trying to play into this funny business, for lack of a better term, in terms of what congress might do, what mike pence might do in terms of the election results? we don't know if they saw and expected the violence that we saw. >> but let's not get numb to the importance of these disclosures and things we already know. if members of congress were willing to count in its efforts to overturn a legitimate election, that seems to be pretty close to the definition of treason. and we know that even if there was

do you know who had no doubt about john eastman's dual roles as both the architect of what adam kinzingert as well as the tip of the spear of the plan against mike pence is donald trump. donald trump put john eastman in a room with mike pence. he had written the blueprint for a coup plot to overturn the 2020 election. these are the chief monsters you have got to get, eastman and clark. >> well, i think that john eastman, certainly, nicolle, is a significant player. i mean the reality is that you had a memo outlining a coup to end the peaceful transition of power in the united states, to overturn the will of the american people and install for the first time in the nation's history a dictator. that's what the eastman memo was. it was discussed in the oval office. it was discussed and advocated to the president, by the president, for the president, from the president and his top advisers on down. so it's a very, very serious matter. what i think about all of this is the trajectory, the momentum of the fact-finding is such that when you look at the thompson/cheney committee -- when you look

. >> kinzinger and cheney don't support that >> i think it has to get done. i'm sorry they don't.e democrats are the party in power and they need to focus on getting this done. you can't keep pointing at liz cheney and adam kinzinger and saying but for two republicans somehow we would get this done. the democrats need to make this a focus and get their messaging and party in order. >> agreed. >> and get this thing passed instead of pointing at liz cheney. >> we a hundred percent agree on democratic inaction. ten seconds left. would you agree the former coalition both sides have to make compromises? i feel like it is always a one way street conservatives saying you need to be nice to us otherwise we won't join with you. >> of course. as a never trumper now part of the democratic coalition i've said point blank for five years, i am not going to fight with democrats about policy. in some ways i think i am better democrat than most democrats because at this point i'm a party line democratic voter for the sake of saving the constitution because right now the democrats are the only part

>> well, the only two we know, michael -- and it's good to see you -- are liz cheney and adam kinzingerr in the year will also come along because clearly these text messages show that this was a pre-planned, premeditated role that donald trump was playing, and that the whole big lie has been perpetuated by him and that people close to him, like his own son, were saying that he needed to do something when he refused to do anything. so i do hope that some other republicans will be courageous enough to stand up for democracy in the way that liz cheney and adam kinzinger are. >> shouldn't we know the names of the members of congress who were those texting mark meadows? we learned the fox personalities last night. shouldn't we know the members of congress as well? >> well, i think we will eventually. i do think that at this moment while the investigation is still going on, there's some sensitivity to that, that's why we have to be careful. but i do think it's important at the end of the day for the american people to know exactly who was involved in planning this, exactly who was involved in

and cheney and kinzinger haven't, and then there's been times by christy -- and then middle ground andtain ways certain ways and there is -- market in the general population and the general's face and itself and demand essentially? no the party is a general trump party. this is some times that i think we make the mistake of looking at a republican party and saying how did they go wrong here? how did they take this wrong turn or something, how did they get hijacked? none of that happens. this is what the republican party wants to be. this is why i was really forced when i confronted this myself. which was not a pleasant experience to call this all a lie. because i don't know any other way to reconcile this. you don't abandon -- in a few years. and listen, chris, i love the guy, he's a fighter. i think he should fight and go straight at donald trump. and you can't say that we're just going to ignore the pass. it doesn't work. it never works. >> that is a perfect example of what i am talking about. this idea of my proposal is not to talk about the central defining questions facing the par

the democratic-controlled house voted 222-208 with just two republicans, kinzinger and cheney, joining the democrats. it will be up to the department of justice to decide whether to pursue criminal charges. more on this in a moment. >>> first, though, a new cdc warning this morning that covid is raging across the u.s., and it is possible that a new wave is imminent as soon as january. this as the u.s. crosses the tragic milestone of 800,000 coronavirus deaths still the start of the pandemic. cornell university reporting more than 900 cases among students this week and now shutting down all in-person activities through the end of the semester. all finals, we have learned, will be taken online. in manhattan, jpmorgan chase is instructing all unvaccinated staff to work from home. they are urging them to get the vaccine and eligible employees to get booster shots. >> kroger said paid leave will no longer be made to unvaccinated workers getting the virus. apple is rein stating a mask mandate for anyone inside its u.s. stores over concerns mount over the omicron variant. new york and califor

. >> joyce, i want you to listen to what committee member adam kinzinger said earlier today about theng things like, hey, mark meadows, why don't you make sure all the votes are counted and then whoever has the most wins. it's going around the nuances of the law. or it's saying, here's how we can use this technicality to win. that's why we have to look at the electoral count act and say, if there's people who know how to win against the will of the people, something's wrong that we have to change in that. >> joyce, quickly, kinzinger is talking about these technicalities. is there anything illegal about these nuances? are they literally just legal loopholes that need to be buttoned up? >> we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg with these texts. there's more investigation that's merited. that's why ultimately i agree with harry that so many of these folks will end up testifying to the committee or at least having the opportunity to do so. but what this points to is the importance of passing the two election protection bills that are pending in the senate, one that would restore the v

adam kinzinger voted in favor of the bill. we are grateful for that act of courage. many of these -- it is not the question of why democrats are supporting it now. the question is why have republicans changed their view on whether subpoenas should be enforced? why did darrell issa who wants champion congress to expedite subpoenas -- why would republicans oppose a bill that includes provisions that senator lee once championed about curtailing presidential declarations? or the one that senator grassley championed in terms of whistleblowers? what has changed within the gop? the short and terrible answer is fear of the former president. that if they support these reforms which enjoyed the support of 150 good government groups which spans the spectrum from conservative groups to liberal groups. they fear disfavor from the former president. i would hope they would see the utility of these reforms. apparently most of the gop still runs in desperate fear of the former president. in terms of the other parts of our agenda, we are heavily focused on passing and if it structure

as for where this goes now, over the weekend, republican congressman adam kinzinger -- a member of thethis is bhae told abc news on this week. >> we're going to pursue doggedly, everything to the ends of the earth and that includes -- and we don't like necessarily having to go here but that includes members of congress that had any involvement. so absolutely, anybody -- nobody, member of congress, former president, nobody in america is above the law. >> joining us now, conservative attorney george conway. george, great to see you. um, in your estimation, do you think the former president has reason to worry about what the january 6th committee has unko uncovered so far? >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, there are a number ever different ways elkd be potentially held criminally liable for what happened on january 6th. he doesn't have to be one of the people who actually went up on capitol hill and did -- you know, committed crimes such as obstructing congress and breaking and entering and engaging in all that kind of physical activity. there is a concept in the law called aiding and abetting

kinzinger of illinois, i inform the house that mr. kinzinger will vote yea on the rule. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from washington rise? >> as the member designated by representative delbene of washington state, i inform the house that representative delbene will vote yea on h.res. 848. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina rise? >> as the member designated by mr. luetkemeyer of missouri, i inform the house that mr. luetkemeyer will vote no on the rule. as the member designated by mrs. wagner of missouri, i inform the house that mrs. wagner will vote no on the rule. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from pennsylvania rise? >> as the member designated by ms. speier, i inform the house that ms. speier will vote yes on h.res. 848. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana rise? >> mr. speaker, as the member designated by mrs. walorski of indiana, i inform the house that mrs. walorski will vote no on the rule. as the member designated by mr

came up to hold him in contempt, the only two republicans who voted for it were liz cheney and adam kinzinger, the two members of the committee recommending the contempt charge. so unlike steve bannon who had nine republicans vote to hold him in contempt, seven of those votes disappeared when it came time for meadows. meadows' case is a bit different from bannon's. he was in the white house at the time so he does have a slightly stronger claim of executive privilege. he has a lot of friends on capitol hill. he was the head of the freedom caucus for several years. he has a lot of contacts, and bannon doesn't have those same friendships on the hill. so, you know, i don't think -- from what i saw out of those texts, i don't think a single republican abandoned meadows who was already with him. >> katie, expand on that reporting for me. we're talking about the idea, of course, we know steve bannon is held in criminal contempt. is there any plan to do the same for mark meadows here? >> sure. once that justice goes over to the justice department, it will be up to career prosecutors in washington to

just two, only two republicans, liz cheney and adam kinzinger joined 220 democrats in voting to holddows in contempt for defying a congressional subpoena. it's the first time a former member of the house has been held in criminal contempt since 1832. i want to bring in nbc's ali vitali on capitol hill, scott mcfarlane, investigative reporter nor nbc 4 in washington. luke broadwater, and joyce vance, former u.s. attorney and professor at the university of alabama school of law. ali you have to start on this vote because two, only two republicans voted for it. we all heard those text messages. those are republican members of congress pleading with meadows for help. they were inside the capitol as it was being attacked, yet they didn't vote for it. what am i missing? >> and steph, congresswoman liz cheney last night during this vote read out more text messages, she said, from republican lawmakers who are still in this house body. these are some of the messages, and you mentioned it, they sound desperate. listen to what they said. >> mark, one member said. he needs to stop this now. in a

lawmakers share that curiosity because up until now it seems that other than liz cheney and adam kinzingerave been actively trying to prevent the truth from coming out. >> well, look, mitch mcconnell, let's remember. he stood up very strongly at the time. he insisted that this was going to be a defining vote, that members needed to vote to certify the election, that this was a very big deal, and i -- he meant it and he still means it, and i think that even many members in the house who voted against certification, you know, will also acknowledge privately that, you know, that this is -- this is a terrible situation that happened and that -- and i think they are also very concerned about what some of their colleagues may have done to aid and assist in any of these insurrectionists who committed crimes on the day of the assault on the capitol. >> are they concerned enough to speak out? are they concerned enough to do anything about it, or are they just drunk on power and are going to keep their mouth shut because they don't want to get ousted from their seat? >> i think many are clearly conc

can go into that if you want to -- we know where representative liz cheney and representative adam kinzinger stand on the issues. they are entitled to their opinion. this is pretty much a one-sided investigation over the top of doj investigations, senate investigations, arrests. justice is underway with people that violated the law. that should continue until we get them all. no, i'm not in for a one-sided, democrat-led, partisan witchhunt that this appears to be. host: minority member mccarthy put nevers on the panel? guest: again, we made the case and we made it firmly that there were already investigations going on and the doj and the senate, the intel committee as well as the government oversight and regulations committee also had looked into these issues. these are criminal investigations. that is the way they should be handled. they should not be turned into partisan politics, which is what the democrats are trying to do with this select committee. host: john and herndon, virginia. independent line. caller: good morning, pedro. my question to you -- good morning. my question to you is

we do not need more crying kensington or -- adam kinzinger.f you are going to stay in the game, help those who are actual fighters. thank you for being here. keep doing what you are doing. you are on the front lines of freedom, liberty, and justice. fight for your country because it is worth it and because we love you. thank you, turning point. ♪ thank you, guys. i will make sure to tell your favorite president that you said hi when i am with him in like two hours, ok? ♪ ♪

yet, for some reason, nancy pelosi was too afraid to allow that to happen, so she chose adam kinzinger and liz cheney, who are basically nothing but democrats. so i am wondering why c-span does not bring up things like that on this channel and ask those kind of questions or are you too afraid to actually get to the truth? as far as january 6, which you brought up, i would say maybe people at c-span need a lesson in history. there is nothing new that this january 6 riot was conducted by the fbi, with the help of antifa and blm. look back in history. 60 years ago, the intelligence agencies in this country's rent operations, like operation chaos -- warren operations, like operation chaos, and fbi operation, and look at those from back in the 1960's and 1970's. host: ok. a couple comments on twitter. rating congressional leaders, you have the democrats are often portrayed as weak. but you have republicans who refuse to govern. oakland congresswoman barbara lee was the lone representative that did not vote for the wars in afghanistan and iraq. on twitter, especially when your party wants to

it is another what adam kinzinger described ads a blue print for a coup, as the eastman's memo. i want to go through the last slide of the power point. pence seats -- vp pence rejects the electors from states where fraud occurred causing the election to be decided by the remaining electoral votes. vp pence delays the decision in order to allow for vetting and subsequent counting of the legal paper ballots. the only way this works is if violence ensues. i wonder if you think this moves the committee closer toward really understanding premedication for the insurrection. >> i think absolutely it does. i want to come back to something claire said about the role of the white house chief of staff. this is arguably the second most powerful person in the united states. in part because he has ears to the president and carries out his wishes. for he to meet with the retired cole eight to ten times at the white house. that is a precious meeting. if you look at components of their plan, what they were doing in the run-up to january 6th was quite consistent with some the aspects of that powe

the strategy of following liz cheney and adam kinzinger, twitter earlier tonight do you think that obama or clinton would have been that stupid to follow those two anywhere? for strategy or deliberation? >> there are some worries in the democratic side about what is going on here. it is actually connection between the haze that you see in there pursuing this executive privilege case and of course mark meadows has the strongest case was a white house chief of staff at the time. if anyone has a case for executive privilege it would be meadows and one could wait for the course to finally put to be. the haze that you're seeing does reflect a worry that they're going to stretch this investigation into next year. of course it is meant to ultimately damage formative president trump and the republican party. the worry is that it will damage democratic fortunes in the midterms as well. as if we know anything right now is that voters are concerned that the economy. they are concerned about inflation they are concerned about their standard of living. that is the issue next year and they are worried

kinzinger, aye. mr. chairman, you are not recorded. >> i vote aye. >>a mr. chairman, -- >> mr. chairman, aye. the clerk will report the vote. >> there are seven ayes, no nos. >> the members have two calendar days in which to file supplemental or additional views on the measure ordered reported by the committee tonight. >> so ordered. without objection, staff is authorized to make any necessary technical or changes to the report to reflect the actions of the committee. there being no further business, without objection, the select committee stands adjourned.
