On the recordJuly 28, 2011
I think there was a gross distortion of what's being proposed here. And again, the previous speaker just condemned the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's bill in the U.S. Senate. That's the only Democratic bill we've had. So it seems to me that there's a little bit of a fight going on on the other side of the aisle between their House Members and the Senate. To my friend from New Jersey, this committee that's formed is a committee of active sitting Members of the House and Senate. So in order for anything to be recommended by this committee, it would require, in all likelihood, all of the Democrats to support it.
