On the recordDecember 21, 2010
Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for being brief. I appreciate his consideration. I wrote my dissertation on performance-based budgets in a comparative study of 50 States. I added about 99 percent of all the performance- based budgeting in Texas right before President Bush was the Governor there. I know this legislation, and this legislation is probably the largest change we have had since 1993. Members, this is a bipartisan bill supported by both Democrats and Republicans in the House and the Senate. So, Madam Speaker, again, I urge all Members to support H.R. 2142.
