                 COUNTRY SHOULD SEE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

  (Mr. WATKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WATKINS. Madam Speaker, today, I was in these official closed-
door impeachment investigations. I use the word ``official'' loosely 
since the grounds upon which the Democrats are acting are shaky, at 
best.
  Access is being limited. I am a member of one of these committees 
that is allowed to be in there, but as I look around and see no more 
than perhaps a dozen or so Republicans, I think to myself that the 
entire country should see what the Democrats are up to, the entire 
world should.
  Soon that will happen because although I don't know what I am even 
allowed to share, because I don't understand these official 
formalities, I do know that I will tell the world everything that I 
can, and the truth will come out with time.
  It is not what is best for our constituency. We ought to be passing 
the USMCA. We ought to be ensuring our borders are safe. We ought to be 
fighting against surprise billing and exorbitant healthcare costs.
