John Spratt: “Mr. Chairman, I honestly fail to see what we will accomplish, except protracting the process; what we will accomplish…”

On the recordJune 24, 2004
Mr. Chairman, I honestly fail to see what we will accomplish, except protracting the process; what we will accomplish positively by making this concurrent resolution a joint resolution that has the effect of law. I really do not know what will be different from what we have right now, except we would have to come to some agreement with the White House much, much sooner in the year than we otherwise have to. What is going to be different? The statutory? What would be different about it?
