“I just wanted to tell the chairman, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf), that the comments of the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) are well taken by this ranking member. We want to work out the best possible situation to work in the proper manner and in the way that we will do justice to the bill and to the amendments and to the Members. I will agree also to a time limit on amendments. However, I must say once again, as I did last year, and in a loud voice, that I cannot understand why it is that we put a rule on the floor that is open-ended and then we immediately move to curtail. So next year, if I am still around in this situation, I assure my colleague that I will oppose any rule that is open-ended, because it is really not an open-ended rule. But I will support time limitations to make the process move forward.”
