Political Quotes

“It is currently my time. I guess my question to the gentleman is--this is very short--it says--literally it is a sentence-- ``in paragraph 4(b) by inserting `the Department of Defense and the National Guard' before `or'''--I don't see anything in there in my amendment that will bias the Secretary of Transportation to only utilize fields that have a DOD or National Guard presence. In fact, the opposite could be argued, that those fields, because they have a DOD or a National Guard presence, would somehow be excluded from the gentleman's pilot program. So, Mr. Chairman, I am happy to yield to him very briefly if he cares to answer what his opposition is. He doesn't care to address that, which indicates to me that he is either unsure or doesn't know or that I might be right in that. Anyway, I still do believe that if we are having a pilot program then it ought to be open to more of our fields and not fewer of those fields. Mr. Chair, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
