On the recordMarch 12, 2013
The Senator is exactly right. What we are trying to do is to run a rescue operation to keep the continuing funding going on-- really, the President will submit his budget next week, and the Budget Committee will be off and running. We will actually hold hearings on every subcommittee, and it will be an open and transparent process. Members will be able to participate, and we will return to that bill by bill. When you are dealing with a bill that has all 12 subcommittees in it and it is $1 trillion, they think, wow. But we are going to do that regular order. I thank the Senator. I am so happy she is on the committee. I look forward to showing her what regular order is. I know the Senator is going to stand up, as she has done on so many occasions, to champion the cause of women; is that correct?
