On the recordOctober 17, 2007
I don't understand, because you mentioned three key Republican sponsors of the SCHIP bill in the Senate, one my Senator and my constituent from Iowa, Senator Charles Grassley. And I'm looking at today's Congress Daily and there's a quote in here from Tom Reynolds, a Representative from New York, and he says, I want Republicans at the table and then I want to write a decent bill that will serve poor children first. But it sounds to me like Republicans were at the table for months helping craft a bipartisan compromise bill that put the needs of poor children first. So I'm confused.
