Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I want to thank Dr. Boustany, who has been a friend on the Ways and Means Committee. I assume this might be his last time handling legislation on the floor. He was great to work with over the years. I take some satisfaction, Mr. Speaker, that having either been chairman or ranking member of the Tax Policy Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means, that I simply wore them all down because, every 2 years, they would send somebody else over to share that responsibility. Dr. Boustany is a real gentleman. He has been a friend, and he has been a very nice guy to work with. I yield back the balance of my time.”
