H182 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE January 13, 2009 

connection with the inquiry under this resolution, take affidavits and depositions by a member, counsel, or consultant of the committee, 

pursuant to notice or subpoena. 

Moreover, the resolution provides that there 

shall be paid out of the applicable accounts of 

the House such sums as may be necessary to 

assist the committee on the Judiciary in conducting the inquiry under this resolution. The 

committee is authorized to require by subpoenas or otherwise, the (1) the attendance 

and testimony of any person and (2) the production of such things as it deems necessary 

for the inquiry. Lastly, the resolution provides 

that the Committee may adopt a rule regulating the taking of depositions by a member, 

counsel, or consultant of the Committee. 

By bringing this resolution to the floor, we 

as Members of Congress demonstrate that we 

are concerned about taking the moral high 

ground and are concerned enough to investigate wrongdoing and allegations thereof 

when it affects anyone in a bipartisan manner—be the accused a Democrat or Republican. This resolution is an important first step 

to the beginning days of an administration that 

staked its campaign on change. Let us usher 

in change. I urge my colleagues to support 

this resolution 

Ms. MATSUI. I yield back the balance of my time. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

question is on the motion offered by

Res. 15, as amended. 

The question was taken; and (twothirds being in the affirmative) the 

rules were suspended and the resolution, as amended, was agreed to. 

A motion to reconsider was laid on 

the table.
