Chuck Grassley: “I will not question what the minority leader just said, but it seems to me we ought to know who that Senator is besides…”

On the recordDecember 15, 2015
I will not question what the minority leader just said, but it seems to me we ought to know who that Senator is besides the minority leader because Senator Wyden and I have worked very hard over the last 10 years, and we finally got done what we thought was a very good measure for this body; that the people who put holds on legislation ought to be made public, and there has been nothing in the Record. So why don't these people have guts enough to put in the Record their reasons and who they are? The public has a right to know that.
