Steny Hoyer said "I thank the gentlewoman. Mr. Chairman, I want to say to my friend, as I observed, I think there is a legitimate question here. No one wants to see you silenced. Everyone thinks you have the right. You are a party, and you individually and collectively have the right to bring up this issue. What we urge you not to do is put at risk the passing of a Homeland Security bill which gives funding for a year's period so there will be stability and the ability to manage the national security of our country while, at the same time, on a parallel basis, raising legitimate questions that you want to take. So no one denies or wants to preclude you from the opportunity to do so. I thank the gentlelady for yielding. The Acting CHAIR. All Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair and not to individual Members." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
