Congressional Record Speech: Release of Epstein Files

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD FLOOR STATEMENT "RELEASE OF EPSTEIN FILES" House Section, November 19, 2025 (Page H4778) This entry is the official Congressional Record publication for House remarks titled "RELEASE OF EPSTEIN FILES," in Vol. 171, No. 195 (House section), dated November 19, 2025. Congress.gov provides both TXT and PDF formats and identifies the statement as delivered by Representative William Keating. As a primary source, the Congressional Record captures real-time floor framing around enactment and implementation of Epstein-related disclosure legislation. The statement discusses release of files, references House and Senate action, and argues for full follow-through in public disclosure. The value of this document is not statutory text but legislative context: - It preserves arguments made on the floor at the moment of final legislative movement. - It provides contemporaneous political and oversight framing for interpretation of the enacted disclosure law. - It anchors timeline analysis to a dated, officially published congressional speech record. Researchers should pair this record with H.R. 4405 bill-status and enrolled-text documents. Together, those sources show both what became law and how members publicly characterized the purpose and expected implementation of the law.
