I thank the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia [Ms. Norton] for her help in helping bring the city to the table; Mike Rogers, the Mayor, and the entire council, for being flexible on this issue; to Wayne Curry, the chief executive of Prince Georges County; Doug Duncan, the county executive in Montgomery County; Cathy Hanley, the supervisor and the chairman at Fairfax County. I think all worked together with the regional congressional delegation to bring this about and save Congress a lot of time on this bill, and also do what is right for the region. I appreciate their efforts." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
