                    BRING UP THE MENENDEZ RESOLUTION

  (Ms. KILPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I come today as a member of the 
Committee on House Oversight who, for 9 months, has been looking into 
scheduling special meetings for the investigation of the gentlewoman 
from California [Ms. Sanchez].
  I come to Members today to ask that the integrity of the House be 
maintained, that we bring up today the Menendez resolution, and that we 
put this 9-month investigation to rest. It is imperative, Mr. Speaker, 
and I call on the gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas], the chairman 
of our Committee on House Oversight, who has scheduled a meeting next 
Wednesday to discuss the Sanchez investigation, come to a close.
  The results show that the gentlewoman from California won the 
election favorably. It is very unfortunate that a former colleague 
would come on this floor and insult the integrity of this House. I urge 
the Speaker and Members of the Congress, bring up the Menendez 
resolution today. Do not table it. Let us get on with the business of 
the American people.
