Moolenaar on Speaker Johnson's Plan to Renew the Select Committee
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) today released the following statement after Speaker Mike Johnson announced he would renew the Select Committee in the 119th Congress.
“I’m grateful for Speaker Johnson’s clear-eyed assessment of the existential threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party and the importance of the Select Committee on the CCP in tackling that threat head-on. What the Chinese Communist Party fears most is a united America where Democrats and Republicans work together to defend our nation. For the remainder of this Congress and into the next, the Select Committee will work in a bipartisan manner and alongside the committees of jurisdiction to continue to protect the United States and our values from the malign influence of our nation’s foremost adversary, the Chinese Communist Party.”
Additionally, Speaker Johnson announced the House would consider several Select Committee championed efforts this fall, including outbound investment restrictions, the BIOSECURE Act, and de minimis reform.
