lofgren: house administration committee has held a series of hearings primarily with the inspectors generals looking at deficiency of the management of the capitol police. and unfortunately we found many. but that's not what spurred the attack but the response. the fact there were deficiencies in the management of the capitol police didn't cause the riot. we will make sure that the interim steps to be more safe at the capitol continue. but it's not a substitute for finding out what happened here, what caused a mob of americans to think this they were supporting the constitution when they tried to disrupt the constitutional process of counting the electoral votes, who paid for it, how was it organized. we need to find that out to keep the country safe. thank you, madam. speaker pelosi: thank you. in terms of the capitol police, they saved our lives and we be -- will be forever grateful to them and enabled us to return so we could honor our constitutional responsibility prescribed in the constitution as january 6, not just any day did they have there as the republicans describe it, normal tour
