Darrell Issa: “I wonder if the gentleman from Virginia would have kept this person on for how long--weeks, months, more than a year?…”

“I wonder if the gentleman from Virginia would have kept this person on for how long--weeks, months, more than a year? This individual received a bonus after more than a year. When this bill came through our committee, the amendment to say ``in all cases 30 days'' could have been offered; it wasn't. This came through in regular order of the committee. The language was published. There was every opportunity. When the gentleman from Virginia said ``redrafted,'' with all due respect, not a word was changed in any of these three bills from the time it left our committee until today when it's being considered. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bentivolio).”
