Age time will be restored You know we have a history Of being A bipartisan committee that work on Solutions and we can disagree But we've gotten to the point of the Language that we're using uh is not the Kind of language that historically we as Members of this committee uh we've used And again I just think in the interest Of Civility of this committee uh I would Implore all of the members that Understand the strength and concern But you know As a way that we ought to conduct Ourselves And what I'm hearing uh is not how a Majority of this committed conducts Business and we can do better Science that the words be taken down Committee will suspend the gentleman Will state the words that he wishes to Be taken down Generated uh reference that secretary And call him a liar Uh chair s the general lady if She wishes to see unanimous consent to Modify or withdraw her remarks I will Not withdraw my remarks because the Facts show the proof so in making a Ruling on this uh it's pretty clear that The rules State you can't impugn Someone's character Identifying or calling someone a liar is
Unacceptable in this committee and I Make the ruling that we strike those Words Sorry just a point of order legitimate Question you're recognized thank you Mr Chairman did you move to take the words Down or to strike them Mr Thompson yeah Sorry I just stepped in To take him down So that's what we do yeah my Understanding is if words are taken down That means that the the member can no Longer speak in whatever the proceeding Is that those words were set I Foreign So in Consulting the roles of the house Uh when we strike uh it does terminate The time of the individual who is Speaking so uh the gentlelady is no Longer recognized uh the chair now Recognizes Mr Ivy I believe uh can I Make a point of inquiry remember Mr Chairman you can so the the ruling was That because she used the word liar Um that was taken down which I agree With yes but but accusing a statement of Fact is very similar to the posters that Uh Mr there's no statement of fact There's no statement of there's No there's no actual basis for the Statement we're not here to debate this Okay and the ruling was made by the Chair that these previous words were not
Against the rules of Clause 1 and class four of rule 17 but To tell someone that they are a liar is It's pretty clear in the rules slander Is clearly covered by the rules the the Impement I can't imagine an allegation Worse than the one that she just made I Mean that has got to be so in the Category of taking the taking the words Down no no it it is not it does not fit The rules by the ruling of the chair and We've already voted on that it has Passed us we have the secretary until About 1 30. we're going to move on and Mr Ivy you're recognized for your your Five minutes of questioning
