Political Quotes

I rise in opposition to this motion to recommit. The Members of this body have spoken loudly and clearly on the application of the independent-counsel statute through the Members of Congress. They have voted, we have voted, this afternoon to cover all Members of the U.S. Congress through the Bryant amendment by a vote of 339 to 76. They also voted against the Gekas amendment and the Hyde amendment. I do not think we need to take up any more time. We know what we want to do. Let us kill the motion to recommit, pass the bill, and I am going to Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
