So, Mr. Speaker, it really comes down to this: If you say you want to do this for a year, put your vote where your rhetoric is.

Talk to the people who are absolutely responsible for this, and they will tell you this 60-day ad hoc approach doesn't work. That's why we need a rule to go to conference and put forth something the American people want and need.
