  Removing a certain Member from a certain committee of the House of 
                            Representatives.

Whereas Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Christopher Wray said in 
        July 2020 that ``Beijing is engaged in a highly sophisticated malign 
        foreign influence campaign'' that involves ``subversive, undeclared, 
        criminal, or coercive attempts to sway our government's policies, 
        distort our country's public discourse, and undermine confidence in our 
        democratic processes and values'';
Whereas Representative Eric Swalwell has not denied public reporting that a 
        suspected Chinese intelligence operative helped raise money for 
        Representative Swalwell's political campaigns and facilitated the 
        potential assignment of interns into Representative Swalwell's offices;
Whereas Representative Swalwell has not denied other troublesome elements of 
        public reporting;
Whereas clause 1 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives 
        provides, ``A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or 
        employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall 
        reflect creditably on the House.''; and
Whereas Representative Eric Swalwell should be removed from his committee 
        assignment in light of conduct he has exhibited: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the following named Member be, and is hereby, 
removed from the following committee of the House of Representatives:
    Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: Mr. Swalwell of 
California.
                                 <all>
