               DEMOCRATS ARE FOCUSING ON POLITICAL GAMES

  (Mr. LATTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of the 
Fifth District who are tired of the Democrats focusing on political 
games.
  This past weekend, at an American Legion dinner, I was handed this 
note: Pass USMCA.
  Folks at home want Congress to act on jobs, the economy, and lower 
healthcare costs; but what they are hearing from the Democrats in the 
House: secret proceedings that deny access to House Members who do not 
serve on the respective committees; no press access; no ability to 
defend oneself by bringing witnesses, taking depositions, or having 
one's attorney present; and being accused by an unknown witness who 
claims secondhand knowledge.
  Where is the pride that we have in our sense of justice? Where is due 
process? Where are the rules? Where are the American values of fair 
play? Where is the evidence? Where is the House vote?
  Read the unclassified transcript. The Democrats created a Star 
Chamber. This is a bold attempt to overturn the 2016 election. It is 
time to shine a bright light on what is going on.
