Summary
Representative Ramirez moved to subpoena Gregory Bavino; a subsequent motion to table passed on a recorded roll call reported as 14 ayes to 12 noes, so the committee did not advance the subpoena.
WASHINGTON — A procedural dispute during the House Homeland Security Committee's hearing ended with members tabling a motion to subpoena a witness.
Representative Ramirez moved to subpoena Gregory Bavino to appear before the committee (motion text entered on the record). Another member then moved to table that motion. The clerk conducted a roll-call recorded vote and announced a tally of 14 ayes and 12 noes; the chair ruled that the motion to table "is agreed to," which left the subpoena from further consideration that day.
The roll call recorded votes by name on the record for members who were present. Ranking Member Thompson and a number of Democrats voted no; the chair and a majority of Republicans voted to table the motion. The committee also admitted several news articles into the record by unanimous consent earlier in the hearing.
The committee left the record open for written questions and requested witnesses respond in writing under Committee Rule 70.
