Tom Price: “we are now 27 days, 27 days into a unilateral disarmament. We are not doing our job in the House of Representatives. We…”

“we are now 27 days, 27 days into a unilateral disarmament. We are not doing our job in the House of Representatives. We are not fulfilling our oath, and we are not protecting the American people. This brings discredit on the House of Representatives. The underlying bill simply allows the American intelligence community to make certain that they are able to listen or surveil on terrorists in a foreign land speaking to another terrorist or suspected terrorist in a foreign land. My constituents don't understand why the House isn't acting on this. They believe the House is bringing discredit on the Nation. Americans don't understand. The Senate has acted responsibly. It is imperative that the majority of the House be given an opportunity to vote on this issue. The majority of the House has said that they would pass this bill. Not bringing this bill to the floor for a vote brings discredit and abrogates our responsibility as Representatives of the United States of America. I urge the Speaker and I urge my colleagues to allow this to come to the floor for a vote.”
