Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 17, 2011
I just want to also join the chairman in congratulating the staff. This is the hardest-working staff I have ever seen in my career. The effort that is put in on a bipartisan basis, this is the cohesive and professional staff that I have seen, and I have been up here on the Hill for over 40 years. I just want to say that Jennifer Miller and David Pomerantz worked very hard to put this agreement together. We asked for some additional time. Our Members wanted a chance to express themselves on some of these very important and sensitive issues that are in this legislation. But it is my judgement that we should not object; we should accept this agreement and proceed forward and finish this legislation. I withdraw my reservation.
