Political Quotes

“Let me ask a final question of the Senator and then make a statement and then yield to others. What are the Senator's intentions then with regard to this resolution? I fear exactly what he just said, what would happen if we do not move forward in June, July, August or September, or by the end of the year when would these hearings ever begin? We have a responsibility and we need to carry them out in a responsible way, but also in a timely way. Is it the intention of the Senator from New York to call this resolution up when we return from the Memorial Day break in early June? I know the leaders are going to continue to negotiate. They have an obligation to do that and, hopefully, they will reach an agreement. But there also has to be some idea of what the timing is.”
