Political Quotes

“I thank the gentlewoman for the time. Mr. Speaker, of course, it is not fake. We are having to impact the entire country, and that is why I support the gentleman's bill, Schools Not Shelters. Yes, we passed other legislation, like H.R. 2, which would address the problem but which my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and this President refused to do. We are doing this, of course, jointly, while we are trying to move the FAA reauthorization. I support that bill too, but we must include slots--I just want to be very clear--for the people in San Antonio and for cities outside of the perimeter that was created in 1966. It is critically important for the American people to have access to their Nation's Capitol--including San Antonio, with 1.6 million people, the seventh largest city in the country--to have access to the Ronald Reagan National Airport. So I hope we will adopt that amendment so the FAA bill can move strongly to the Senate and get passed. {time} 1245”
