Political Quotes

“I just hope that when Members vote on this, they will understand that we need more money in homeland security. We need to speed up the process of getting teams to combat biological and chemical warfare out; we need money for the borders; but we also need money for operational money and the war. I know we will take care of the immediate needs, but I worry about the supplemental, and I hope we are putting the executive branch on notice that they need to send us a supplemental as soon as possible, that they do not wait around and let those experts at OMB decide when the supplemental is sent up. So I would just urge the Members to vote for this motion and, hopefully, in the subcommittee, we will be able to work the best we can under the artificial limitations we have, and then they will understand that we need more money and get the supplemental up as quickly as possible.”
