Dan Webster

I yield myself such time as I may consume. First of all, I want to go back again to where we were. We are talking about a rule. We are talking about a process, a good process, that allows for amendments. I know that the other side is…

I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, as you heard me say earlier, my Republican colleagues and I are committed to providing a more accountable, transparent, and open process than the minority allowed during previous…

I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Boswell). (Mr. BOSWELL asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts, my good friend, Mr. McGovern, pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I will say this: I came here to talk about the rule. I didn't come here to talk necessarily about the underlying bill, although I do support the underlying bill. The rule is what is…

I yield the gentleman an additional 30 seconds. Mr. LaTOURETTE. It's now in the Court of Appeals. We do our darnedest to say we're going to drain the swamp and do all the other stuff around here. But in this lawsuit--they've got a lot of…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I still want to bring it back to the issue at hand. We're talking about a rule here, and I have found that no matter what you're making--you could be making widgets or you could be…

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I've listened with great interest. My friend from California (Mr. Dreier) kind of amended a little bit what the Republican majority…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 189 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 189 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the…

Wives, submit yourself to your own husband.

She should submit to me. That's in the Bible.

I think we have come up with a stronger template of reports that all the committees are required to lodge once a month, and that will be available electronically for people to see.

This is a concept that we have suggested as an example of what should be done in the private sector, if they can afford to do so.

When we had the hearings with the Ranking Members and the Chairpersons, I asked each and every one of them whether or not they would agree to cooperate with us in coming back after a year for us to look at that.

I thank the gentleman for introducing it and I am happy to join him in sponsoring it and hope that we can have expeditious consideration by the full House.
