Endless Frontier Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PETERS. Mr. President, the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol remains a dark stain on our Nation's history. Americans deserve to have all of the facts about that day, and a fair, balanced, and independent Commission will give us those answers.

This Commission would complement the current investigations into this deadly attack, including my Homeland Security Committee's own investigations in conjunction with the Rules Committee.

After the devastating September 11 terrorist attacks, Congress came together to create a bipartisan independent Commission. January 6 marks a singular event in our Nation's history, similar to what we experienced on 9/11, and there is simply no logical reason to oppose its creation.

The brave law enforcement officers who stopped this attack and every American who watched in realtime as our free and fair democratic process was attacked deserve answers and accountability for the actions that occurred on January 6.

I urge my colleagues to support this Commission and get the American people the answers that they deserve.
