If we can agree on 60 percent of this bill before us... let us just set aside the 40 percent and let us do the 60 percent.

We could pass a health care reform bill this week with more than 60 votes, and it would be bipartisan, if he just took a few things out of the bill.
We got into this because our members about a year-and-a-half ago said to us, oh, my God, another Trump-Biden match. It's not good for the country. It offers no hope of bringing bipartisanship back to Washington regardless of who wins.
I hope you Members of the Committee in this session will similarly rise to the challenge of this moment and this problem and work together to get something good and great done for our country.
I hope that the spirit of bipartisanship... will guide your Committee's consideration of the deprivation of voting representation in Congress for citizens of our Capital City.
