CHARLES A. GONZALEZ: “As we near the end of this session, one of the country's largest companies is asking Congress for special treatment.”

I do not think you are going to have a debate that English proficiency is something that I think enables and empowers individuals.

I don't see that this Congress or any previous Congress has ever been paralyzed by changing technology.

I hope that there will be a bipartisan bill introduced, obviously, in the Senate in June that will overhaul wartime contracting practices, and that we in the House will act accordingly and support our Senate colleagues.

What Mr. King's bill tries to do is not protect the English language, but to encourage us to have some basic commonality of communication.
