  (Mr. HARRIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

  Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, it seems when I came to work this week, I 
was coming to work in Moscow, or Beijing, or Pyongyang, or Havana; not 
in the Capital of the free world where we treasure fairness. Because 
what are we doing? We are holding kangaroo courts; Star Chamber, 
Soviet-style secret trials that are used to depose political opponents. 
That is what is going on.
  Mr. Speaker, I went back to my district. I had three townhalls in the 
last 4 days. I come from a district who voted for this President and 
wants a chance to vote for him again in 12 months. They asked me: Where 
is the evidence against this President?
  So I went downstairs today to try to find it. I went down to the 
SCIF, and as you heard from the gentleman from Texas, we were told that 
I could not read the testimony of Mr. Volker. It was refused.
  I asked: Who refused it? They wouldn't tell me.
  I asked to go into the hearing today. They have a hearing today. They 
said to a Member of Congress: You can't go.
  I said: Who refused? They wouldn't tell me.
  So, Mr. Speaker, it appears that someone has made a decision, with no 
rhyme or reason, of who gets invited to these things. We have got to 
stop this. What are they hiding?
  Mr. Speaker, I support the censure resolution. Open up the windows.
