John Conyers: “Ladies and gentlemen of the House, the controlling objective here is that, if we reject the substitute and, instead…”

On the recordFebruary 28, 2013
Ladies and gentlemen of the House, the controlling objective here is that, if we reject the substitute and, instead, adopt the bipartisan and comprehensive Senate bill, the bill will go directly to the President for his signature. So I rise in strong opposition to the substitute and in support of the Senate bill, the Violence Against Women Act of 2013. Madam Speaker, I yield 30 seconds to the distinguished gentlelady from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore).
