mr. mccarthy of california. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise in favor of the rule and the underlying legislation. since the beginning of this congress, we have devoted ourselves most prominently to a single goal. making washington work for the people again. and there's one thing here in washington that consistently stands against our people, our economy, and our constitution. the federal bureaucracy. and nobody even knows how many there are. they spend their lives thinking up new rules and the rules they produce weigh down businesses. destroy jobs, and limit american rights. career bureaucrats who can't be voted out of office wield punishing authority with little to no accountability. they are agents of the status quo and the revolving door of federal employees moving to lobbying arms and consulting firms breed thousands of regulations that enrich the connected and powerful. sometimes at the great expense of the average american. this is the swamp. this is what opposes the people

mccarthy was still attacking marshall a from preparing to investigate the u.s. army for un-american activities, churchill stepped out of the procession down the nave of west mr. abby at the service, holding up a line of royalty, clergy, statesman, and ability to stop and shake marshall's hand. a friend in need is a friend indeed. what are we to make of arshall's ceaseless advocacy for an early cross channel attack in 1942 in 1943? time when the vermarcht was powerful in the west. while the the luftwaffe had control of the skies of normandy. and when the u-boats were prowling undetected in the atlantic before the enigma nable code was broken. what are we to make of his demands before the channel this is been swept or clear of the german navy? was marshall deadly serious in anting such an attack in 1942? of course as talented a strategist as george marshall with his education and great war experience and staff work did not believe in a cross channel at ck in the autumn of 1942 all. he believed in keeping the british and the president up to the mark. he knew he was going to be outvoted by the british and f.d.r.. only by constantly promising to open a second fron

mccarthy. >> yes, it is true i opposed moving forward on this at this time. i thought it was something that both parties should take up at thsame time. >> mr. trump leading a national movement to drain the swamp on his campaign here in washington responded on twitter this morning, writing "with all that congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the independent ethics watchdog, as unfair as it may be, their number one act and priority? focus on tax reform, health care and so many other things of far greater importance." joining me is kasie hunt on capitol hill and kristen welker outside trump tower in new york. kasie, first of all there was a parenthesis there or amendment to what the tweet said, which is as unfair as it may be, so it's clear that the president-elect is not questioning the ethics change. he's not supporting the oversight that existed for the last number of years since that big corruption scandal. he's only questioning the timing of it. >> reporter: well that's right, andrea and the reality is members of both parties have problems with the office of congressional ethics the way it's been set up, th

so later mccarthy, please feel free to proceed with your introduction and then we'll go to mr. handling, and then we will go to the nominee. >> chairman hatch and ranking member wyden, and the members of the committee, i'm proud to be a today to introduce an extremely capable and -- investor, banker, financier, and a fellow californian. steven mnuchin. the nominee to be the next secretary of the treasury for the united states. the secretary of the treasury is a distinguished office, once held by luminaries of our history. from alexander hamilton to andrew mellon. it is an office that requires deep technical skill, strategic vision and uncommon instincts. all qualities that stephen possesses and has demonstrated in the private sector. with decades of experience in banks, financial firms, and even movie production, he has a history of going returns and achieving financial stability for his clients and shareholders. shareholders. i think it says a lot about this man that he would leave such a successful career to apply his talents for the benefit of the american people as a whole.

mr. chairman, i think you've been there, particularly relevant to the confirmation of gina mccarthy, and i think it's purely within your call to have additional questions be submitted for the record. the opportunity for the witness to answer all the questions, you will still have to do before his confirmation by relative to any other epa administrator hearing, you have been very generous, very fair, and i think that from the perspective i think that's a very fair outcome can still ask questions, just submit the question for the record. >> can i respond to our call it from alaska i don't know if you remember, a year or two ago there was a joint section of the house and senate committees and round committees, and the witness was gina mccarthy. and i ride four hours into the hearing, and after while i was recognized to ask the question. my first question of gina mccarthy was, you are in it for four hours, and they said audit any collations that haven't asked you wish they had been asked what she i said what? she said i wish i'd been asked if i needed a bathroom break. i don't know if the wi

mccarthy was nominated and i had significant numbers of questions, of barbara boxer ltd. meet at five minutes and two minutes we have more than doubled that amount of time for questioning mr. chairman. >> i am not saying that you have been unfair but until this very minute idol think it had been clear that there was the three round limit and that we were going until the questions were answered please don't take that as a criticism of your fairness you have been fair to do have a bunch of questions right here that i hoped to ask that i thought was a fourth round. >> submit those written questions by tomorrow. >> i appreciate the way you have conducted the hearing today and them coming back again and again and to have the hearing with one or two days interested in the outside panel that that is not really that tradition and we will stay as long as people have questions that is almost exactly your words that is hard to argue with some have more questions and i know that i do we are not running out the clock i would just ask you think back to their conversation to have one more round and we will call it a day. >> offered to start the committee meeting earlier today because ma
