Political Quotes

“I had one glaring oversight in this entire debate concerning the bill. And that is the fact that the gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Hooley) who really played a monumental part in this legislation over the past 2 or 3 years and actually was the original cosponsor of this legislation has not been recognized. I would like to commend her for her fine work on this bill. And I guess it is a credit to her and her personality, despite that oversight she did not call attention to my omission. And so I commend the gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Hooley). She is an outstanding Member of this body. And in this legislation, she deserves a lot of credit for its passage and its support.”
