On the recordDecember 17, 2010
First of all I want to say I am returning back to Congress. I want to just put that on the record. So I do look forward to working with Mr. Holt and Mr. Issa and other Members. Again, as this might be the last oversight bill that we have, again I want to thank the Democrat staff, Chairman Towns, the ranking member and his staff also for working with us, because I think this committee has done a lot of good work, and I appreciate the work they have done, all of us working together in a bipartisan way. At this time I will ask Members to support this resolution.
