                              ----------                              


                        THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2022

                          House of Representatives,
                         Committee on House Administration,
                                                    Washington, DC.
    The Committee met, pursuant to call, at 9:05 a.m., in Room 
1310, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Zoe Lofgren 
[Chairperson of the Committee] presiding.
    Present: Representatives Lofgren, Butterfield, Aguilar, 
Scanlon, Davis, Loudermilk, and Steil.
    Staff Present: Jamie Fleet, Democratic Staff Director; 
Khalil Abboud, Deputy Democratic Staff Director; Caleb Hays, 
Minority General Counsel and Deputy Staff Director; Dan Taylor, 
Senior Counsel; Kulani Jalata, Elections Counsel; Sean Jones, 
Professional Staff Member; Andrew Garcia, Staff Assistant; Tim 
Monahan, Minority Staff Director; Elliot Smith, Minority 
Professional Staff Member; Kyle Parker, Chief of Staff for 
Representative Butterfield; and Elizabeth Arevalo, Legislative 
Director for Representative Leger Fernandez.
    The Chairperson. A quorum being present, the Committee will 
come to order.
    I want to note that we are holding this markup in 
compliance with House Resolution 8 and the rules governing 
Remote Committee Proceedings. We will count down--five, four, 
three, two, one--for the tech people to begin this hearing.
    The Committee will come to order.
    Pursuant to the Committee on House Administration Rule 4 
and House Rule XI, Clause 2, the chair announces that she may 
postpone further proceedings today on the question of approving 
any measure or matter or adopting an amendment on which a 
recorded vote of the yeas or nays are ordered.
    And, without objection, the chair is authorized to declare 
a recess at any time.
    I will now recognize myself for the purpose of making an 
opening statement.
    Today, the Committee is considering a supplemental 
committee funding resolution for the second session of the 
117th Congress.
    Typically, this Committee reports an expense resolution 
during the first session that covers both sessions. We did just 
that when we reported and the House adopted House Resolution 
316.
    Sometimes, however, adjustments to funding levels are made 
by appropriations bills, and House Rules compel House 
Administration to report a revised expense resolution adjusting 
the figures previously authorized in the primary expense 
resolution.
    The increase in funding we report today will further help 
the House committees execute their constitutional duties of 
exercising oversight and crafting legislation for the remainder 
of the 117th Congress.
    Traditionally, committee funding has been a mostly 
bipartisan endeavor. I am proud to have worked with the ranking 
member in this and previous Congresses to streamline the 
process and make it more efficient for our busy chairs and 
ranking members. I look forward to continuing that partnership 
today.
    I recognize the Ranking Member for any comments he may 
have.
    Mr. Davis. Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Well, great. I am 
excited to be here to examine stock trading reforms for 
Congress, but, first, I am excited to say I support this 
resolution, which will get additional resources to our 
committees.
    I will mention, it is unfortunate that committees will not 
be receiving the same level of increases that Member offices 
receive, in part because of the out-of-control spending by the 
January 6th partisan Select Committee.
    I yield back.
    The Chairperson. The gentleman yields back. I thank the 
Ranking Member.
    And, without objection, any additional opening statements 
by Members will be made a part of the record.
    I now call up House Resolution 1035 for the purposes of the 
markup.
    The clerk will report the resolution.
    The Clerk. House Resolution 1035, Adjusting the amount 
provided----
    The Chairperson. Without objection, the first reading of 
the resolution is dispensed with. And, without objection, the 
resolution shall be considered as read and open to amendment at 
any time.
    [The resolution follows:]
    [GRAPHICS NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
    
    The Chairperson. Does any Member seek recognition for the 
purposes of offering an amendment?
    If not, the question is now on reporting House Resolution 
1035 favorably to the House. The question is on the motion to 
report.
    All those in favor will say aye.
    Opposed will say no.
    In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it, and the 
motion is agreed to.
    Pursuant to House Rule XI, Clause 2, all Members of the 
Committee have the right to file with the clerk supplemental, 
additional, minority, and dissenting views.
    [The information follows:]
    [GRAPHIC NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
    
    The Chairperson. And, without objection, staff is 
authorized to make technical or conforming changes.
    And, with no further business before the Committee and 
without objection, the Committee stands adjourned.
    [Whereupon, at 9:09 a.m., the Committee proceeded to other 
business.]
