Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I thank my dear friend and colleague from the Energy and Commerce Committee and the whip, the Republican whip of the House, for his overly generous comments, his fine leadership, and the fun we have had on the Energy and Commerce Committee.

He has been otherwise consumed with other duties, and that will be noted in the historical record, I am sure. Mr. Speaker, I inquire how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oregon has 9\1/2\ minutes remaining.”
