On the recordSeptember 24, 2002
Absolutely. The House has not passed the appropriations bills. The House Appropriations Committee--no fault of the Republican chairman of that committee and others on the committee--has not passed, has not reported out all of the 13 bills in the House. The House has reported eight bills. The House Appropriations Committee has reported 8 of the 13 bills. I am just talking about the reporting out by the committee. We haven't done very well over here, either, because we are stalled on the Interior appropriations bill which has been before the Senate now for many days.
