                             PAY ATTENTION

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk a little bit about a 
hearing we are going to have tomorrow in the Oversight and 
Accountability Committee regarding members of President Biden's family.
  It is a hearing I don't want to have. I think the President has done 
a pretty bad job, and politically he has made a lot of mistakes that 
have made him unpopular, but what we are dealing with here is 
significant sums of money, tens of millions of dollars, that appears to 
have flowed to his family from other countries around the world--in 
particular, China and Ukraine.
  It is very difficult as a Congressman to know exactly what American 
policy should be with regard to these countries, but it makes it even 
more difficult if it is apparent that the President of the United 
States or his family may have received significant amounts of money and 
may have even been subject to blackmail if the worst had happened.
  I strongly encourage the American public and the Chair to tune into 
our hearing tomorrow because we are going to unveil a new witness whose 
name has not been publicly revealed, and I think it is important for 
all Americans to pay attention and see exactly what is going on.
