“I think folks are going to have a tough time containing their emotions today. We met in the House Rules Committee at 8 a.m. this morning, and folks already had fuses that were running short. I agree with my friend from Massachusetts, enough is enough. We had an amendment offered in the Rules Committee this morning. I don't think most folks in this body know because folks weren't at the Rules Committee this morning. We had an amendment offered in the Rules Committee this morning that said, if the gentleman wants to do this new bill that has been crafted by the Democratic majority, bring that new bill to the floor, but let's at least consider the bipartisan bill that passed the Senate, resoundingly, 84-8 yesterday. I agree with my friend from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), enough is enough, Madam Speaker. We could send a bill to the White House today to start the money going today. My friend from Massachusetts said: Let the Republicans talk if they want to. We want to talk about the children. I am tired of talking about the children. Let's serve the children. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's stop talking about it. It has been almost 60 days that we have been talking about it, with one tragic picture after another rolling across the national headlines. Let's stop talking about it.…”
