On the recordDecember 8, 2011
I thank the gentleman for his comments and his leadership on the Hackathon event that occurred yesterday. He and I both had the opportunity to address a large number of--over 250, I think--individuals who were there who will, in fact, bring their expertise, their technical knowledge to bear on what the gentleman referenced as making our institution more accessible and transparent to our citizens. We all believe, I think, that doing that will make the products that we produce better and make citizens better able to make judgments on the work that we do. So I want to thank the gentleman and his staff for their leadership on this effort. We were glad to join in that. Mr. Speaker, I understand that the unemployment insurance, the payroll tax issue, which will continue to give the middle class tax cuts to those who need it most, the unemployment, which will keep millions of people from losing their unemployment, as well as the physician adjustment are scheduled next week. It's my understanding that that bill has not been filed yet. Can the gentleman tell me when he believes that bill will be filed?
