COMMITTEE RESOLUTION 115–19 

TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 2018 

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEE ON HOUSE ADMINISTRATION, Washington, DC. 

The Committee met, pursuant to call, at 11:06 a.m., in Room 

1310, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Gregg Harper [Chairman of the Committee] presiding. 

Present: Representatives Harper, Davis, Walker, Smith, 

Loudermilk, and Brady. 

Staff Present: Sean Moran, Staff Director; Kim Betz, Deputy 

Staff Director/Policy and Oversight; Steven Wall, Deputy General 

Counsel; Dan Jarrell, Legislative Clerk; Amanda Anger, Professional Staff Member; Matt Field, Director of Oversight; Erin 

McCracken, Communications Director; Jamie Fleet, Minority Staff 

Director; Khalil Abboud, Minority Deputy Staff Director; and Eddie 

Flaherty, Minority Chief Clerk. 

The CHAIRMAN. I now call to order the Committee on House Administration for today’s Committee meeting. A quorum is present, 

so we may proceed. 

The meeting record will remain open for 5 legislative days so 

that Members may submit any materials that they wish to be included therein. 

There is one item on our docket today, Committee Resolution 115–19, a resolution to disburse $200,000 from the Committee’s Reserve Fund to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. This disbursement is in response to a request the Committee received from the 

Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. 

The disbursement will provide resources for the Committee on 

Veterans’ Affairs to establish a new Technology Modernization Subcommittee. This new subcommittee will focus its oversight efforts 

on the VA’s $15.8 billion Electronic Health Record Modernization 

Program, by far the largest electronic health record transition ever 

attempted as well as one of the Federal Government’s biggest IT 

projects. 

I would now like to recognize my colleague and the Committee’s 

Ranking Member, Mr. Brady, for the purpose of providing an opening statement. 

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

Mr. Chairman, I support the funding request for the Veterans’ 

Committee. And I have received assurances from the Ranking 

Member that he will have access to one-third of the funds, conVerDate Sep 11 2014 20:57 Dec 04, 2018 Jkt 033061 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 E:\HR\OC\A061.XXX A061

sistent with their tradition of how money is spent on a committee— 

for a committee is handled. 

With that assurance, I support the request and urge my colleagues to do the same. 

And I yield back. 

The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman yields back. 

Does any other Member wish to be recognized for the purpose of 

an opening statement? 

I now call up and lay before the Committee Committee Resolution 115–19. Without objection, the first reading is dispensed with, 

and the resolution is considered read and open for amendment.
