I have seen a great amount of testimony and other information about the Travel Office matter. Unfortunately, all of the matters that exist between the administration and the Congress about what happened in the Travel Office... have not been resolved yet. The center of contention is that the administration believes it has furnished Congress with all of the information requested... and some Members of Congress believe that is not the case... there is still an area of contention between the two branches of government. But there is no difference of opinion between the administration and the Congress as to the fact that these individuals, these employees of the Federal Government, were not treated fairly; in fact, were mistreated in this whole process. That has been acknowledged by the administration... Mr. Speaker, it is also my understanding that the President does intend to sign this bill, should it reach his desk. I want to urge all Members to vote in favor of this legislation.
