Chairman Sessions made the following statement today about the launch of the new website:

“I am committed to enhanced transparency and access for members, staff, and the general public.  This new website builds upon the progress we’ve already made in making the House a more open and accountable institution to the American people.  With timely and accurate updates, the Rules website is a go-to destination for information on the business of the House.  The new features include important upgrades that will make it easier for citizens to view the inner workings of Congress.”
