Ed Pastor: “I would hope that when the national plan is provided that we are able to at least give you some of our comments.”

Hopefully, it will get done sometime in the near future, so that we don't have a CR, and we are able to fund the agencies, hopefully, the best we can.

I voted no for it because it was a bad idea then.

It is my belief that this is a political process. As much as we don't want to admit it, it is.
