Hon. George W. Gekas said "Mr. Speaker, I think the RECORD should reflect the fact that every single issue that the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee) articulated here in her remarks has been debated, redebated, discussed, rediscussed, overdiscussed, continuously discussed, and hearings were held on them. Then I repeat, because it is an important fact for everybody to remember, after all of that and all of the debate, including the gentlewoman's concerns which she just expressed, 315 Members of the House and whatever it was in the other body overwhelmingly approved bankruptcy reform. The time has come for us to resolve the issue. Should we or should we not bring bankruptcy reform to the American people? We are facilitating that through this mechanism of the conference which we are about to convene." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
