                        JANUARY 6 INVESTIGATION

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, tonight, will be the last scheduled meeting 
of the partisan Committee on January 6th.
  As my neighbors in middle Tennessee struggle with the skyrocketing 
cost of living, I can't help but think Congress' time and energy should 
be focused on the issues on most Americans' minds, not another 
political witch hunt.
  If the committee had any legitimacy, it would allow Leader McCarthy 
to seek the Republicans of his choosing. Speaker Pelosi made the 
unprecedented decision to not do so.
  If it had any legitimacy, the committee would be investigating what 
caused the events to unfold that day, what led to the breach of 
security, and what can we do to learn from these failures to prepare 
for the future.
  Unfortunately, I don't think the committee has done its job to ask 
these important questions.
  Tennesseans are smart and see this process as what it is: a partisan 
witch hunt in the form of a sham investigation.
