Political Quotes

“earlier today the Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee was here on the floor charging Chairman Inhofe and our EPW Committee with inserting Amtrak legislation into our highway bill. Shortly thereafter, I was glad to see that same Senator rise to apologize for this incorrect statement. Because the truth is, that the provisions the Senator was talking about are actually in his own committee's title of this bill. So now that it is established not even the Chairman of the Commerce Committee knows what is in his title, I think it is only appropriate to address some of the problems in that title. Earlier today I discussed a few of the problems I have seen in that title. At that time, I pointed out that we still have not heard from the Commerce Committee Chairman what is in his title. Well, we still haven't had an explanation . . . and if that committee's chairman didn't know that the Amtrak provisions were actually in his own title, it makes me wonder if anyone actually knows what is in the Commerce Committee title of this bill. That said, I am back here again to briefly address a few more problems with the Safety Title of this bill.”
