Political Quotes

“Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Chair, our mistake was in accepting the amendment from the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Collins). The amendment dealt with the underlying language of the underlying law, not with the bill. We should have insisted that an attempt to correct that language be in a separate bill. The gentleman from Georgia is now telling us that we should kill this bill that will save so many lives because we have not figured out acceptable language to replace existing bad language in the existing law that had nothing to do with this bill. We should pass this bill. We will work as we go forward to see if we can come up with acceptable language, but in any event, we should pass this bill and deal with the separate problem of bad language in the underlying law separately. Madam Chair, how much time do I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New York has 6 minutes remaining.”
