William H. Frist said "We will certainly consider that and work very hard. As my colleagues know, we are adjusting the schedule and interrupting the appropriations bills quite appropriately to address this issue, which reflects the joint priority in responding in large part to the immediacy of that response to the fires that are underway. As I mentioned, the main obligation on both sides of the aisle is to address the issue of the climate change bill and the agreement from July 31. My intention is to stay on Healthy Forests and work aggressively. But we have to ask for cooperation on both sides of the aisle. I would like to finish Healthy Forests as soon as possible, absolutely finish it this week. It will take focus to stay on that bill and on relevant amendments as we have been requesting." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
