Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, it has been a long afternoon. We have covered a lot of territory, eight different bills, I think, today. As I had said earlier, there is no magic bill that is going to somehow cure or remedy some of the challenges that our capital markets have seen over the last number of years, but this is a step towards that. H.R. 5970 and so many of these other bills are important steps that this House is taking on a very bipartisan basis. I commend everybody who has worked on this--Mr. Gottheimer and Mrs. Wagner in this particular case--and I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues across the aisle to search for true solutions in policy and to set aside the politics of what needs to happen. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 5970, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Huizenga) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 5970, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to require the Securities and Exchange Commission to carry out a cost benefit analysis of the use of Form 10-Q and for other purposes.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
