a parallel discussion going on in the senate. kristen gillibrand trying to do the same thing you are, take the prosecution of these crimes from the chain of command. the senate is very divided. this time, it's not not along party lines. how do you see this breaking down politically? >> we are seeing growing support among our republican colleagues on taking it out of the chain of command and that is the good news. on the house side, the letter i've written to the chair is to just get us to have a hearing on chain of command so that the issue can be aired on the house side. they have really shut down the opportunity for a robust discussion, debate, and exploration of the issue. and i'm hoping now, as we garner more support on the republican side in this letter, that we will see the chair take the action to hold a hearing on the issue. >> congresswoman jackie spear, thank you joining us. today's mixed jobs reports
