William H. Frist said "Then, on pensions, my staff said that you mentioned pensions, perhaps trying to stack the issues for downtown interests, the majority decided to play games. What are you even implying? We finished this bill on November 15 on this floor. We completed it. The House finished it a month later. We have been waiting to go to conference now for I guess 3 months. My distinguished colleague knows it is the majority that ultimately sets the ratios. The ratio has been crystal clear for weeks now, and now the argument seems to be shifting that there are outside interests dictating all this, when I have been crystal clear for weeks now on what those ratios will be. What is the implication, that there is somebody outside dictating what we are doing?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
