                    IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY SHAMES HOUSE

  (Mr. JOHN W. ROSE of Tennessee asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHN W. ROSE of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I am speaking tonight 
on behalf of the people I represent in the Sixth Congressional District 
of Tennessee.
  In Tennessee, I hear excitement about the leaps forward our country 
has made under the leadership of our President, Donald Trump. We are 
enjoying the lowest unemployment rate of my lifetime, and more 
Americans are employed than at any point in this Nation's history.
  In the short time that I have in this, my first elected office, I 
have seen the great race in Washington that goes on daily. It is a race 
to take credit for anything positive, to run away from anything 
negative, and an all-out sprint away from the real problems facing our 
Nation.
  Well, in the race to the ridiculous, my colleagues on the other side 
of the aisle have clearly won. A closed-door, secretive, biased, so-
called inquiry is shaming this House and not doing the first positive 
thing for the people back home.
  Drop the political charades, Madam Speaker, and let this House go 
forward.
