"I have urged that we do a very quick mark-up so that you can get right to work."

"The budget put forth by the President, which I opposed, would double the public debt in 5 years and triple it in 10 years."

"the thing I fear is discretionary spending, while it is very important and we need to constrain it, is a small part of the total problem."
