On the recordApril 14, 2011

In closing, a key component of this spending agreement is a guaranteed up-or-down vote in the Senate on a provision that would prohibit any funds in this act or any previous act from being used to carry out the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Let's return to Congress its power to review this funding annually and exercise full oversight. House Concurrent Resolution 35 does just that. At a time when we are being called on to rein in government spending, the American taxpayer deserves this vote. I urge my colleagues to support this enrolled resolution to deliver on that promise today and call on the Senate to do the same.
