Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, clearly, we do have disagreements on that. Hopefully, we can work through those in the debate next week. There is another bill that is going to be, hopefully, coming up that we can get agreement on, and that deals with the renewal of components of the FISA law. I know the Committee on the Judiciary earlier this week had a markup that they ultimately pulled back on. There are negotiations ongoing between Republicans and Democrats to try to come to an agreement on not only how to renew the FISA law, but also how to make the reforms that are critical and necessary to the FISA law, to address the abuses that we know happen. I would ask the gentleman first if his side is in a position of identifying some of the areas we can find agreement on, on reforms, because I believe Ranking Member Nunes had submitted a number of specific reforms, and the gentleman's side is reviewing those. Has the gentleman had a chance to review them? Does he have an alternative proposal? Because the reforms are critical to the renewal. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman to answer that.”
