Political Quotes

“Reserving the right to object, and I have no intention of objecting, Mr. Speaker, but simply to say that we continue to believe on this side of the aisle that we could resolve this issue, as we have had this debate, over a longer term and give confidence to the markets, give confidence to the States and localities by simply bringing the Senate bill to the floor and passing that bill.

Without objection, the ordering of the yeas and nays on the motion that the House suspend the rules and pass H.R. 4239 is vacated, and the Chair will put the question de novo. There was no objection.
