Political Quotes

“I wish to thank the Senators from Delaware and Arizona for the modification. It now makes it apply only to those reports which are filed annually, semiannually, or at other regular intervals, regular periodic intervals. It will not include reports which are triggered by events, or possible events, such as a War Powers Act report or weapons sales report where the requirement is based on an external event which is not a regular periodic event like a date on a calendar. That was acceptable to the Senator from Arizona, and I think it now will make this accomplish its goal, which is to try to get rid of a whole bunch of reports which we get every year or 6 months which nobody really relies on but not wipe out reports, or sunset reports which we do heavily rely on which are those reports such as the War Powers Act or weapons sales reports which are triggered by specific events covered by statute which the Congress indicated its intent to obtain reports on for those other external reasons. So we do very much appreciate the modification.”
