“The good news is I know that I will get great empathy from you and Mr. Boehner on this challenge. The second response would be I want you to know, and you know this from our personal relationship, we will work very closely with you and Mr. Boehner to try to accommodate our Members. If we are going to be a civil body, if we are going to have civility, that means that we are going to have an understanding of the challenges facing each and every one of our Members irrespective of party and we intend to do that. I personally intend to do that, and we will work towards that. Obviously, there are times when Members are inconvenienced because we have 435, and it is just tough to accommodate everybody's interests; but to the extent we can do so, it is our absolute intent to do so. And I thank the gentleman.”
