Gregory Meeks said "I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Madam Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I think this is a momentous day for the Congress. I want to thank my friend and colleague, Chairman Meeks, for his great leadership in bringing this long-overdue authorization bill to the floor. I also want to thank former chairman Eliot Engel, who I worked with very closely to get an authorization bill passed out of the House, just to see it fail in the Senate. I hope the Senate will not allow that to happen again. This is really desperately needed. It is a momentous day for the House. It is critical. It is bipartisan. It reclaims our constitutional prerogatives of the Congress and the full oversight role of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I think it demands our unanimous support. I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
