On the recordMarch 20, 2007
We are within our fifth year now, our fifth year, and Mr. Speaker, I always say there is nothing like the Congressional Record. That is the reason why the 30-something Working Group, we like third-party validators, and we love the Congressional Record because that is the reason why we meet. That is the reason why we make sure we have what we need to have to give good, accurate information to the Members. But we have a very important Member that is on the floor that is a member of not only the Financial Services Committee, but also Government Oversight, that has their work cut out as it relates to making sure that this government is efficient, and that is Mr. Murphy. I think that it is very important that we hear from him and some of the information that he has to share, because a lot of the information we have now is from Mr. Murphy's committee.
