                         DR. FAUCI MUST RESIGN

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, any trust that Dr. Fauci might have 
gained over the course of the pandemic is now completely out the 
window. He must resign and his case be referred for prosecution for 
perjury.
  For the past year and a half, critical decisions for the whole 
country have hinged off of Dr. Fauci's advice and decrees. Two 
Presidents have used his advice as the basis for our Nation's response 
to COVID-19. Yet, here we have clear proof that he has been 
intentionally lying to Congress.
  How can any American trust his judgment or that he will tell them the 
truth when he can look Members of Congress in the eye and boldly lie 
about the gain-of-function research?
  Dr. Fauci has repeatedly testified in the House and Senate that the 
National Institutes of Health did not fund research that was gain of 
function, and he had a heated exchange over the specific claim with 
Senator Rand Paul.
  The NIH notified Congress that it was aware, as of 2018 and 2020, 
that EcoHealth Alliance did conduct gain-of-function research at the 
Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. This research was not allowed 
under the grant's rules.
  EcoHealth Alliance had also sought a grant from DARPA in 2018 but was 
denied funding because they were worried that it might be potentially 
gain-of-function research.
  Dr. Fauci must resign and must be prosecuted.
