On the recordFebruary 5, 2018
I say to the gentleman that I really have enjoyed this topic. I guess it is a topic that, like in his district and my district, it always comes down to about the Benjamins and always comes down to what exactly--I liked his analysis about the rules, that he started out relating to football games or whatever sport it is, there are some rules. I do think some people really wonder, from an economic justice standpoint, how they fit into this particular situation. I guess the point is does the gentleman have any sense that you think--and you visit with the President--to your knowledge, that: ``You have got a fine document; I strongly support it, the solutions that are addressed.'' Does the gentleman sense from either him or his administration that they are going to take up anything that you see there in terms of discussion? I yield to the gentleman from Louisiana.
