Louise Slaughter: “Mr. Speaker, it is our constitutional obligation to ensure that our government is running efficiently, from our children…”

On the recordDecember 17, 2007
Mr. Speaker, it is our constitutional obligation to ensure that our government is running efficiently, from our children who need quality education to our veterans who need the benefits promised to them when they put their lives on the line for their country, and to our senior citizens who need access to health care and affordable prescription drugs. And I am proud to say that we, here in the House of Representatives, have fulfilled our fiscal responsibility to the American people by passing all 12 of our appropriations bills on time.
