Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman for yielding. The Committee on Appropriations has announced that it will start its process next week with four subcommittee markups. Over the next 2 weeks, and then the week of July 12, the committee will complete subcommittee and full committee markups on all 12 of the annual appropriations bills. We plan to consider the bills on the floor the final 2 weeks of July, when we are in session. That will be the week of July 19 and July 26. Now, I suspect that we will be close to what the gentleman just indicated he would like to see with the schedule. I am certain that the Committee on Appropriations will do everything it possibly can to keep that schedule so that we will complete all of our work before the August break.”
