Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Biggs).

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Jordan).

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I have the most respect for my friend, the chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, but I believe she misspoke. She said the President wanted to defund the Postal Service. That is not what the President wants to do. The only time I have heard the word ``defund'' lately was by the liberal progressive wing of the majority party that wants to defund the police. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Palmer).

Mr. COMER. That ship has sailed. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from North Dakota (Mr. Armstrong) who is another valuable member.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Chair, I have to comment on what the chairwoman said about the briefings. A briefing is not a committee hearing. With a briefing, there are no notice requirements. Oftentimes in the beginning we weren't allowed to have witnesses, and there are no transcripts. So there is a big difference between a briefing and a committee hearing. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller), who is another member of the Oversight and Reform Committee.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman), another great member of the Oversight and Reform Committee.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, that ship has sailed. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Gibbs), another great member of the Oversight and Reform Committee.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Cloud), another Oversight and Reform Committee ranking member.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to the balance of our time.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, obviously the last speaker, the gentleman from Maryland, missed the part where one of his Members proclaimed that the President was the greatest threat to democracy. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman), the ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Reform's National Security Subcommittee.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentleman from Georgia.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentleman from Ohio.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I want to add, there is no evidence of the charges of the gentleman from Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Massie).

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.

Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, may I inquire how much time each side has remaining.

Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Walberg).

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Latta.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to how much time is remaining.

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Hice), the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Government Operations.
