Political Quotes

“I was delighted yesterday to see the promises that we have made be delivered on. Yet we have got a number more to do. One of the keys that happened yesterday was opening the process and shining light on what Congress does. I have to admit, I was amazed last month when I showed up as a new Member and I had my temporary identification, I asked a police officer, ``Where am I allowed to go in this building?'' He said, ``Just about everywhere you want but a committee room.'' I said, ``What do you mean? Aren't the committees open to the public?'' He said, ``They're not only not open to the public, but at least some committees are not even open to other Members.'' We have made a change to that. We are going to let people see what goes on here and I believe we are going to deliver on all the promises that we have made to America.”
