I think that we have now seen how the process is supposed to work, how we are supposed to have give-and-take, we are supposed to hear from industry groups who have concerns. The good Lord knows we all heard from industry groups and from consumer groups. I would have to think that in my brief period here in this Congress, this is the most lobbied piece of legislation certainly that I have seen. I hope it is the most lobbied piece I will ever see. I do not want anybody to try and break these records." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
