Julian Bond said "No one will be completely happy with this bill, but ultimately the decisions the distinguished ranking member, Senator Mikulski, and I have made with our committee have been the right ones, and the American taxpayers should be happy since our job is not only to fund programs, but to do so wisely, and that is what we have tried to do. Ultimately, this is a good bill. It balances the needs and priorities of Members with requirements of the budget request of the administration. The bill also meets our discretionary budget allocation of $91.334 billion, and we are under our outlay allocation as well." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
