Political Quotes

“I am a former State legislator from Indiana. They used to say on the House floor back there, ``Good bill. Should pass,'' and it's great when you have the opportunity to work together across the aisle on a bill that just makes sense. My colleague from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx) made the comment that there is a lot of data out there for families but that there is a difference between data and information. Our goal with this bill is to help bring this data together, to get past the data dump and to try to get families the information they need while at the same time lessening the regulatory burden on our colleges and universities. They're doing the best they can with limited resources as well. So, with that, I urge my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Messer) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1949, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
