Political Quotes

“I commend him for bringing this important consumer legislation to the House floor today, and I particularly commend our colleague, the gentleman from Utah [Mr. Hansen], for introducing it. This bill provides meaningful financial relief of $50 or $100 a month to millions of American families. Best of all, Mr. Speaker, it provides us relief at no cost to the U.S. Treasury. I also commend the chairman for the genuine bipartisan way this legislation was considered by the committee, which is why it was reported out of the committee 36 to 1. The entire Democratic membership of the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services enthusiastically supported this bipartisan initiative and hopes that the bipartisanship that was demonstrated on this legislation will be a model for subsequent legislation from our committee.”
