RAISING A QUESTION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE
Mr. McCARTHY. Madam Speaker, I rise to raise a question of the
privileges of the House, and I offer a resolution (H. Res. 243)
removing a certain Member from a certain committee of the House of
Representatives.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. DeGette). The Clerk will report the
resolution.
The Clerk read as follows:
H. Res. 243
Whereas Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Christopher Wray said in July 2020 that ``Beijing is engaged
in a highly sophisticated malign foreign influence campaign''
that involves ``subversive, undeclared, criminal, or coercive
attempts to sway our government's policies, distort our
country's public discourse, and undermine confidence in our
democratic processes and values'';
Whereas Representative Eric Swalwell has not denied public
reporting that a suspected Chinese intelligence operative
helped raise money for Representative Swalwell's political
campaigns and facilitated the potential assignment of interns
into Representative Swalwell's offices;
Whereas Representative Swalwell has not denied other
troublesome elements of public reporting;
Whereas clause 1 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of
Representatives provides, ``A Member, Delegate, Resident
Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall behave
at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the
House.''; and
Whereas Representative Eric Swalwell should be removed from
his committee assignment in light of conduct he has
exhibited: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the following named Member be, and is
hereby, removed from the following committee of the House of
Representatives:
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: Mr. Swalwell
of California.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution qualifies.
Motion to Table
Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, I have a motion at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
The Clerk read as follows:
[[Page H1571]]

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
