John Tierney: “Thank you, Madam Chair. Essentially, I would like to reserve some time…”

On the recordMarch 15, 2013

Thank you, Madam Chair. Essentially, I would like to reserve some time for someone we are expecting down to talk on that. But I do make note that in the gentleman, Mr. Young's, Dear Colleague letter regarding this particular matter, he makes note that the underlying bill does not accommodate the needs of this particular population, and that's why the necessity existed for him to bring this amendment that we support to the floor. But it's another example of how the process should have improved this bill all along had it been done in a bipartisan, consultative manner, as we had all hoped it would be. With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
