“Mr. Speaker, I could not agree more with the Committee on House Administration. We need to act today. This is bipartisan legislation. It has the best chance of passing Congress this year and becoming law before next November's elections. Time is of the essence. There are only a few days left in the session of this Congress, and we must act now. The train has sounded its whistle. Election reform must be aboard. The American people expect and deserve real election reform that ensures that every single vote is counted. Mr. Speaker, there also must be some facts brought into the record as to the result of the Committee on Rules. With 435 Members of Congress, there are 435 ideas. That is important. It brings debate and consensus. But the Committee on Rules also has done the least partisan action today by taking a bipartisan product of 108 Democratic Members and 61 Republicans, which have come together with the bipartisan support of the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the ranking member, and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ney), the chairman, and most of us on the Committee on House Administration.”
