Doug Ose: “I do not serve in the Senate. I serve in the House. My district goes up and down the center part of California. And…”

On the recordFebruary 13, 2002
I do not serve in the Senate. I serve in the House. My district goes up and down the center part of California. And while I am very respectful of what the fine Senators in the other body might have to do or say, maybe two of California's Senators might visit my district sometime in the next few months and find out what they are saying, with all due respect to the gentleman. They do not speak for my district, I speak for my district. And if they want to come to my district and visit with my people, I will be happy to have a town hall meeting with them.
