Recommending that the House of Representatives find Mark F. Pomerantz in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with the terms of a lawful and valid congressional subpoena.
HRES 469 is a resolution recommending that the House of Representatives find Mark F. Pomerantz - a New York-based author and lawyer - in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions about his book after he testified under oath that its claims were true. The resolution states Pomerantz had waived his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination when he confirmed the book’s accuracy, yet later declined to answer over 100 questions about it. If adopted, the resolution would direct the House to formally declare him in contempt and order the Sergeant at Arms to summon him to comply with the subpoena. This procedural resolution does not change law but seeks to enforce a congressional subpoena through House authority.
