Richard Shelby actually said...

"I think that there is no other game in town right now, that we need the Export-Import Bank, but we need it to be accountable to the taxpayers."

"There is simply no good reason to oppose the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank."

"As our economy continues to struggle, it is important that Ex-Im have the financial resources it needs to ensure that American exporters can compete in overseas markets."

"Our bill also contains several important reforms that will make the Bank more accountable."
