                  THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW

  (Mr. COLLINS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, last week, on the floor of 
this Chamber, I released a transcript of the interview of Bruce Ohr 
from our investigation into apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and DOJ. At 
that time I said I would make additional transcripts from the 
committee's investigation public, and I am here today to keep that 
promise.
  As I stated then, our interview transcripts were pertinent to a 
congressional investigation, but the 115th Congress ended, the 
investigation was closed, and copies were shared with certain Members 
of Congress.
  Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the link 
www.dougcollins.house.gov/page so the American people can review the 
transcript of Lisa Page.
  The American people deserve to know what transpired in the highest 
echelons of the FBI during that tumultuous time for the Bureau.
  Out of an abundance of caution, the transcript has a limited number 
of narrowly tailored redactions, relating only to confidential sources 
and methods, nonpublic information about ongoing investigations, and 
nonmaterial personal information.
  I will continue to work to release as many transcripts as possible. 
The American people deserve transparency.
