Steny Hoyer: “I take it the answer is no, there will not be a markup on a bill that will have extraordinary consequences to all…”

On the recordJuly 12, 2012
I take it the answer is no, there will not be a markup on a bill that will have extraordinary consequences to all Americans, and possibly extraordinary consequences to the deficit and debt and to our economy. Am I correct in interpreting your answer as no, there will not be a markup of this very important bill? You will bring it straight to the floor without committee consideration? Is that an accurate interpretation of what you said? I yield to the gentleman.
