Political Quotes

“we do have a lot to do. There are a number of other issues in addition to the CR that we have to finish before Monday. We have no choice. We have a farm bill we have to extend, and we have a number of things we have to do. We are going to work together to see what we can do in that regard. It has been slow on this bill, but in spite of that, I think we have had one of the best debates we have had on this bill. On the two amendments we have dealt with, the Kyl-Lieberman amendment and the Webb amendment, I think that was very good debate. In addition, we had extremely good debate on the Biden-Brownback amendment. I always joke about the House saying: We are going to do this much this week. And I say: Well, we will do this much this week and feel good about what we have done. We are getting to a point here where we have the ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we are pushing toward that goal, and that goal is Monday as the drop-dead day on a number of things we have to do.”
