I thank the gentlelady from California (Ms. Lee) for her leadership and her stewardship of this important obligation that we are here to commemorate. Mr. Speaker, it was 50 years ago today that President Johnson stood at that podium right…
Unfortunately, this Republican-controlled Congress has been one of the least productive Congresses in modern times. Recently, the Speaker of the House actually said, ``We've done our work.'' This year we passed only 56 bills. That is sad…
