On the recordApril 9, 2014
The gentlelady used the term ``draconian'' a couple of times, and the chairman keeps referring to comments that Democrats have made as ``overblown.'' I would just remind the body that it was just a few days ago that the senior Republican, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, called the budget we are debating on the floor of the House draconian. That is what he called it--not a Democrat. So I think Members should keep that in mind as we proceed. I am now very pleased to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlelady from Florida (Ms. Castor), a terrific member of the Budget Committee.
