Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman. For the general Membership, I would urge them, however, to keep tonight free, tomorrow free, Sunday free, and such days thereafter as we may need--and I hope we do not need any of those days--so that we can, A, pass funding for the balance of the fiscal year until September 30 of next year, and that we can give the kind of relief that, frankly, Mr. Scalise and I have been talking about for the last 3 weeks, for small businesses, people on unemployment insurance, people who are having trouble putting food on their table, transportation systems that are about to shut down, and other relief that both sides are trying to come to an agreement on. Mr. Speaker, I urge every Member to keep their schedule free, essentially, for such days as it takes to accomplish those two objectives. Unless the gentleman wants to say something further, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
