mr. speaker , if the gentleman will continue to yield , one of the things that the 30-something group has been talking about , and it relates directly to what he said , is this idea that there should be a bipartisan commission in the aftermath of hurricane katrina .  and it is the same principle that the gentleman from massachusetts brought up , that they just do not want any kind of investigation of themselves .  the republicans control the white house , the senate , the house of representative .  they know there are problems that came out of hurricane katrina .  they know they are responsible .  they do not want any investigation by a bipartisan commission because they do not want an investigation of themselves .  they are afraid of what it is going to reveal .  and that is the problem around here .  they do not want oversight .  they do not want accountability .  they do not want any kind of effort on a bipartisan basis , which would happen with the gentleman 's subcommittee , because it might reveal that they have basically created a lot of problems and screwed up on a lot of things .  that is what they are against .
