Examples of by committee in a Sentence

  1. Doug Collins:

    It is my hope that your draconian inquisitions are not returning this committee to the dark days of 16th-century England.

  2. Stephanie Murphy:

    The Select Committee has obtained a vast amount of testimony and documents, our goal -- and our challenge -- is to use the public hearings to distill this information down to its essence, to tell an accurate and easy-to-understand story about why January 6th happened, and to provide some concrete recommendations about how our country can prevent something like it from happening again. Our audience are Americans across the political spectrum who are committed to securing our democratic institutions and processes.

  3. Chuck Grassley:

    The FBI does not make a credibility assessment of any information it receives with respect to a nominee. Nor is it tasked with investigating a matter simply because the Committee deems it important. The Constitution assigns the Senate, and only the Senate, with the task of advising the President on his nominee and consenting to the nomination if the circumstances merit. We have no power to commandeer an Executive Branch agency into conducting our due diligence. The job of assessing and investigating a nominee’s qualifications in order to decide whether to consent to the nomination is ours, and ours alone.

  4. House Administration chairwoman:

    ( Bolton's) latest flash report reveals, again, disturbing inadequacies in the Department leadership's preparation for, and response to, the January 6 attack, examining these latest findings and recommendations will assist The House Administration Committee as we contemplate reforms.

    There's a lot of unresolved issues -- some are being handled by leaders and a whole host of others will be considered at the committee level. We've got a whole lot of work ahead of us.
