“In response to my friend, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), I would like to say that on the list of things she mentioned, the House of Representatives passed virtually all of that legislation, sent it to the Senate.

In terms of Iraq, there is hard work on a bipartisan bicameral basis to get a resolution that I personally would be pleased to see come to the House next week, but we are working hard to have a resolution that has broad agreement to deal with this very important question.”
