“With great respect to the gentlewoman, she, I am sure, was not here yesterday and was not listening when I said this: that provision she is referring to, which gives the next President the opportunity to make changes in the overseas contingency operation account, is exactly what this House did in 2008, the last time we were about to change administrations. Then-Senator Obama voted for it. Then-Senator Kerry voted for it. Then-Senator Biden voted for it. This is not new. This is standard when you are changing administrations. Nothing more. Nothing less. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire of the gentleman how many more speakers he has on his side?”
