               STOP SECRET, PARTISAN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

  (Mr. BUDD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUDD. Madam Speaker, last month, House Democrats announced an 
impeachment inquiry into the President without a formal vote, and they 
chose Adam Schiff to lead the process.
  This effectively means that, for the first time in American history, 
the impeachment of a duly elected President will take place in secret.
  Chairman Schiff has been caught on at least three occasions making 
blatantly false statements about this investigation. He has a complete 
lack of credibility to lead this sham of an inquiry. This whole thing 
is profoundly unfair and just not worthy of Congress.
  So I say to my Democrat colleagues: Stop this secret, partisan 
impeachment, and let's get back to work for the American people.
