On the recordJuly 31, 2007
We just want some understanding that there is going to be ample time for debate on the SCHIP bill that we expect to show up sometime this week. If we can agree on 2 or 3 hours of debate on the SCHIP bill, we will be more than happy to facilitate this process. Our concern, based on what we have seen of the schedule, is that there was going to be very little debate on the SCHIP bill. That is why Members felt compelled, the need to come down and talk about it today on this bill.

I`m a Republican actually, I`m a conservative Republican, but I`m not crazy and then they`ve got, I don`t know, these noisemakers I`ll call them. Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, I could go down a long list of people more interested in making noise…
