Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, as I have talked with my colleagues who are sponsors of this bill, they have laid out a record of significant achievement by Texas A&M on this project. Texas A&M has already raised significant dollars, either at the State level or through private contributions, for the work that will go on at this school. They have demonstrated that they can move forward without our help. Mr. Speaker, I think, as we move forward, the tribute here is not about the work that George Bush has done, or did, as President or did as a congressman in service to his country. It is about, at this point in time, whether we go forward and appropriate another $3 million for an institution that will celebrate the conservative principles and the balanced budget for which he fought so hard. The important thing is that we show fiscal restraint, that we do not continue doing business as we have done business in the past.”
