                   TIKTOK'S ACCESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE

  (Mr. ALFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to stand against the push for 
TikTok to infiltrate our White House. My colleagues and I have sent a 
letter expressing our deep concern that the President is considering 
inviting TikTok influencers into the White House to promote his agenda 
and give them their own briefing room.
  This action poses a serious national security threat. It is 
tantamount to the rooster inviting the fox into the henhouse.
  CCP is spying on millions of American citizens. By allowing these 
influencers access to the White House, we could be facilitating 
espionage efforts.
  TikTok has access to your pictures, your text messages, your 
keystrokes, your microphone, your camera, your search history, and so 
much more.
  Mr. Speaker, I am sad to say it has come to this, but we are 
literally begging the President of the United States not to use a spy 
tool developed and created by the CCP.
  This administration owes the American people a response to our 
letter.
