                   INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE ALLEGATIONS

  (Mr. NADLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I have rarely heard such pernicious nonsense 
as we heard from the minority leader a few minutes ago. He accused Mr. 
Swalwell of having a Chinese spy or Chinese agent in his campaign. I 
understand he has introduced a resolution to remove Mr. Swalwell from 
his committee for that purpose.
  The fact is we all have hundreds of people in our campaigns--hundreds 
of people.
  Can we vouch for any of them? Do we know everybody's associations? Do 
we know whether someone in the campaign is a spy or a thief, or 
whatever? Do we do a police investigation, an FBI investigation of 
every member of our campaigns?
  That is absurd. And I think Mr. McCarthy ought to be ashamed because 
he is an experienced campaigner--he knows this--for raising these 
spurious allegations.
