The following press release was published by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on Jan. 5. It is reproduced in full below.

Washington, D.C. - House Energy and Commerce Committee Republican Leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Subcommittee on Health Republican Leader Brett Guthrie (R-KY), and Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Republican Leader Morgan Griffith (R-VA) announced the launch of a webpage for whistleblowers as a resource to contact them with information pertaining to their investigation of the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We need to know how this pandemic started in order to stop it from ever happening again. We owe it to every American who lost a loved one to COVID-19, every frontline worker who worked night and day, and every child who has faced a mental health emergency, to find the answers," the Energy and Commerce Republican leaders said. “We want the truth wherever the facts lead. We encourage whistleblowers who can inform a complete, scientific, and objective investigation into the origins of COVID-19 to contact the Committee."

The investigators are especially seeking information related to the following matters:

* Scientific experiments related to the Origins of SARS-CoV-2

* U.S. research policy/procedural concerns related to the origins of SARS-CoV-2

* Laboratory safety Concerns at the Wuhan Institute of Virology

* Genomic sequence data/databases related to the origins of SARS-CoV-2

* EcoHealth Alliance research, including research proposals (funded or unfunded)

* Information related to early Wuhan COVID-19 patient cases

* People’s Liberation Army research at Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratories (BSL2, 3 or 4)

* Documents related to the origins of SARS-CoV-2 investigation: e-mails, contracts, photographs, research.
