Steny Hoyer: “Well, I won't pursue it any further, Mr. Leader, but you've been unable to get agreement within your party on this side…”

It's not my experience this year. That hasn't happened. But almost invariably--and I think for the years you've been here, you've experienced that as well. Let me ask you now with respect to the budget. Do you expect the budget to come to the floor? You indicated that. If so, would that be Wednesday?
