“there have been a lot of facts that have been ignored in this recent debate. Fact No. 1, there was, up until this point in time, a lot of work that was going on, no, not on the House floor but in committee meetings. Five subcommittees of Appropriations were attempting to meet today; the Economic and Educational Subcommittee was meeting on welfare reform; National Security, the Resources Committee. Rules is meeting to deliver the unfunded mandates bill to the floor. Small Business and Ways and Means. Those are important motions that are going on outside the House floor that have been delayed. Fact No. 2, the people who ruled the so-called gag order was the Parliamentarian that was hired by the minority party, not by the Republicans. And, fact No. 3, we, the Republican Party, admit our work today has been delayed, but the fact is we remain determined.”
