On the recordFebruary 14, 2002
That is very peculiar logic on the other side. The Senate has sent us a 13-week extension. If the other side does not want the 13-week extension, let us have a vote as the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel) has asked on the 13-week extension, and they can vote no. Let them vote no, but they do not have the courage to do that. Instead they are denying us a vote on the 13-week extension in the guise of we have got something much better. Well, something much better is not going to happen, and we can argue about whether it is better, but if they do not want the 13 weeks today, then let us have a vote on that, and let them vote no against the 13 weeks extension.
