John Conyers actually said...

"this bill is yet another effort by my friends on the other side of the aisle to undermine regulatory protections."

"There is no way members can get a clear and balanced understanding of the issue without hearing from the agency that is the subject of the hearing."

"Now, I want everybody to know, because I want to put most of my statement in the record, that two bills have been introduced that would nullify the Department of Justice's regulation regarding access ..."

"I am especially disappointed that the Justice Department is not testifying at today's hearing."
