Steny Hoyer: “I certainly will yield to the leader, but before I do, do you see my point, Mr. Leader? Either one of us could protect…”

On the recordApril 14, 2005
I certainly will yield to the leader, but before I do, do you see my point, Mr. Leader? Either one of us could protect ourselves. Either one of us, your side could protect yourselves by your five holding firm. Our side could protect ourselves by holding firm. That may protect us individually, but our position is it does not protect the institution, and that is what our concern is. I yield to my friend. Mr. DeLAY. If the gentleman will yield, the gentleman has made my point. Under the old rules, both sides could protect themselves.
