I want to take a moment just to commend you and Senator Grassley for something you did--gosh, I want to say 24 years ago.

This Administration, I will tell you, and I know that some others have been asking questions about responsiveness, this is the worst responsiveness I have ever seen.

I just do not agree.

They are creating the swamp.

I hope that is sooner rather than later.

Harry Truman used to say the only thing that is new in the world is the history we forgot or never learned.
