Eliot Engel actually said...

"I would rather put our heads together, as we have done so many times in the past 3 years, to work together to have a bipartisan bill that achieves what we all want on both sides of the aisle."

"But Congress had an opportunity to vote on the deal, and we lost."

"I just don't believe this is the way to go about doing it."

"I am happy to support our first measure today, Mr. Zeldin's bill, the Counterterrorism Screening and Assistance Act."
