                 INFORMATION REQUEST TO CAPITOL POLICE

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, a law today that I was not aware of is 2 
USC 1979, Release of Security Information. And section (c) says, 
``Nothing in this section may be construed to affect the ability of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives, including any Member . . . to 
obtain information of the Capitol Police regarding the operations and 
activities of the Capitol Police that affect the Senate and House of 
Representatives.''
  Mr. Speaker, they have thousands and thousands of hours of video, and 
I have seen what notice was given to one of the January 6 defendants. 
It said, You will get this section, this section. That is what we will 
use to prosecute. They were not given any of the exculpatory evidence.
  So today, we requested this information--all the video--from the 
Capitol Police, and it is worth fighting for because we need to know 
all the truth.
