On the recordMay 1, 2014
I just wanted to once again thank my friend, my working partner in this, Ms. Wasserman Schultz. She, in this area, is an absolute expert without peer in this House, which has been enormously helpful to me. Again, I want to thank the members of the committee. I want to thank all of the staff, frankly, from both sides of the aisle, all of the personnel offices. They have just been absolutely first-rate. As I observed, I think, in one of our committee meetings, if the current chairman of the Democratic National Committee and the former chief of staff of the Republican National Committee can work this well together, then surely all things are possible in this universe. It has been a pleasure to work with my friend. I look forward to continuing that collaboration as we go forward. With that, Madam Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
