Ms. LINDA T. SA´NCHEZ of California submitted the following resolution; 
which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of Journeymen 
Linemen Recognition Day. 
Whereas journeymen linemen provide a vital service on a 
daily basis; 
Whereas journeymen linemen put their lives on the line every 
day to assure safe and reliable power for the American 
people; 
Whereas journeymen linemen work at heights and in close 
proximity to energized electric lines, and in emergencies 
they often work extremely long hours under sometimes 
dangerous conditions to restore power; 
Whereas Henry Miller, the first elected president of the 
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was 
killed on July 10, 1896, at just 38 years old;

Raising a question of the privileges of the House. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 13, 2014 
Mr. KILDEE submitted the following resolution; which was laid on the table 
RESOLUTION 
Raising a question of the privileges of the House. 
Whereas on March 5, 2014, during a hearing before the 
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, 
Committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa gave a statement 
and then posed ten questions to former Internal Revenue 
Service official Lois Lerner, who stated that she was in-
voking her Fifth Amendment right not to testify; 
Whereas the Committee’s Ranking Member, Rep. Elijah E. 
Cummings, clearly sought recognition to take his turn for 
questions under Committee and House Rules; 
Whereas, Chairman Issa then unilaterally adjourned the 
hearing and refused to allow him to make any statement 
or ask any questions; 
Whereas Ranking Member Cummings protested immediately, 
stating: ‘‘Mr. Chairman, you cannot run a Committee 
like this. You just cannot do this. This is, we are better

than that as a country, we are better than that as a 
Committee.’’ 
Whereas, Chairman Issa then returned and allowed Ranking 
Member Cummings to begin his statement, but when it 
became clear that Chairman Issa did not want to hear 
what Ranking Member Cummings was saying, turned off 
Ranking Member Cummings’ microphone, ordered Re-
publican staff to ‘‘close it down,’’ and repeatedly signaled 
to end the hearing with his hand across his neck; 
Whereas Ranking Member Cummings objected again, stating: 
‘‘You cannot have a one-sided investigation. There is ab-
solutely something wrong with that.’’; 
Whereas Chairman Issa made a statement of his own and 
posed questions during the hearing, but refused to allow 
other members of the Committee, and in particular the 
Ranking Member who had sought recognition, to make 
statements under the five-minute rule in violation of 
House Rule XI; 
Whereas Chairman Issa instructed the microphones be turned 
off and adjourned the hearing without a vote or a unani-
mous consent agreement in violation of Rule XVI because 
he did not want to permit Ranking Member Cummings 
to speak; 
Whereas Chairman Issa’s abusive behavior on March 5 is 
part of a continuing pattern in which he has routinely ex-
cluded members of the Committee from investigative 
meetings, has turned off Members’ microphones while 
they were questioning a witness, attempted to prevent 
witnesses from answering questions, and has provided in-
formation to the press before sharing it with Committee 
members;

Whereas on July 18, 2003, former Chairman of the Ways 
and Means Committee, Bill Thomas (R–CA) asked the 
United States Capitol Police to remove minority members 
of the Committee from the library where they were hav-
ing a discussion about a pending committee mark up, 
and subsequently came to the well of the U.S. House of 
Representatives to publicly apologize for his belligerent 
behavior; 
Whereas Chairman Issa has violated Clause 1 of Rule XXIII 
of the Code of Official Conduct which states that ‘‘A 
Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer or em-
ployee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner 
that shall reflect creditably on the House’’: Now, there-

Resolved, That the House of Representatives strongly

Chairman Darrell E. Issa conducted the hearing of the 
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 
on March 5, 2014, and requires that he come to the well 
of the House to issue a public apology to Members of the
