On the recordJune 28, 2007
It goes without saying I am disappointed that the two issues we have had to do--so important--ethics and lobbying reform and the 9/11 Commission recommendations implementation--that there have been objections. All kinds of reasons, but it seems to me it is an effort that is not in keeping with what is good for our country. I accept what has happened, and we will be back tomorrow with our request for the lobbying reform.
