Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Brooks], chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, for his statement. I think it was a critically important statement that this issue, the chairman says, will be considered, and he fully expects this issue, a carefully crafted trust fund, to come out of that conference, and will clearly be passed by this House as it will be passed by the Senate. I would ask, therefore, at this time, Mr. Speaker, let us move forward to this bill as the conference has reported it out, and let us reject the motion of the gentleman from Delaware so that we can accomplish this issue, save the money that this bill will result in, and then have the Senate and the House in conference on the crime bill determine how to craft the expenditures of those sums in a crime trust fund. My colleagues, it is time, yea it is far past time, to act on this legislation.”
