“Let the games begin. We are open for business. If Members have amendments they would like to raise, Senator Shelby and I are here, and we would like to move along. I know there are Members who have plans they would like to do later this week, perhaps for the weekend, but if we can move quickly, who knows what might happen, since we have done two-thirds of the bill already with overwhelming votes, with a couple modest changes in it. We have increased loan limits in a couple of areas. We invite our colleagues to come over. If they want any questions answered about this, we have staff here as well as members of the committee. We are prepared to entertain amendments and move forward on this very important piece of legislation.”
