Political Quotes

“just alerting everyone, we have a lot to do this week. We have to have some finality on the Ukraine matter, we have SGR--and we are waiting for the House to take some action on that--and we have unemployment compensation. Then we have a number of things we have to do during the next 2 weeks of this work period. We are going to have to finish those I just outlined now, which means that if we can't get some way forward without a lot of procedural roadblocks, we will have to be in this weekend. It is not pleasant for some people, but I have alerted everyone as often as I can. We have been able to avoid the weekends, but this work period is very significant. We have a lot we have to get done. We may either have to start spending a weekend here and there or what we would have to do is just take the week we were supposed to start our Easter break and work that week. It would be a short week, but we would at least be here. So I just alert everyone so people can't come back and say, ``Why didn't you tell us?'' Because I have been saying this for--at least all day. ____________________”
