“I am very much committed to getting the defense authorization conference report considered. It should be done. I want to have it done. I cannot allow it to be tied to political judges. I cannot help but smile when my distinguished colleague and good friend, the minority leader, refers to judges as nonpolitical. Give me a break. But we have worked together through thick and thin for the last month. We will keep doing that. So let me try this for now. Perhaps we could go ahead and do the judge, the CFTC, and go ahead and go to the safe drinking water conference report, because everybody is for that. We can get started. And we will talk about these other two during that time.”
