Political Quotes

“Earlier this year I was very critical of some actions that were taken by the Republican leadership involving sponsorship of a bill. It is not my intention to rehash that. But in the course of a discussion, which was fairly spirited, I accused the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hensarling) of having said something that wasn't accurate. I have had a conversation with Mr. Hensarling, and I believe I said that unfairly to him. I continue to be critical of what happened, and again I don't want to get into it, but I now believe that I inaccurately imputed the complaints that I had and the actions to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hensarling). So I wish to apologize to him for having inaccurately accused him of doing something that he informs me that he did not do, and I believe him. ____________________”
