Rick Lazio: “Let me note as well that we are confident and the Speaker is confident that we will have several appropriations bills…”

On the recordMay 6, 1999
Let me note as well that we are confident and the Speaker is confident that we will have several appropriations bills available to the House for a vote before Memorial Day break. That is well in front of schedule, and it is something I think the Speaker is committed to doing, to ensuring that we consider our appropriations bills earlier and get our work done earlier. Hopefully, that will allow us the time both to consider campaign finance reform and to have a less contentious situation over the next few months. But the gentleman can rest assured the Speaker's word is good, that he is committed to a full hearing of campaign finance reform. It will be on the House floor, and it will be voted on.
