"I hate to be the Republican that spoils the garden party, but the current system is in place for a reason, and that reason is that people do protect and want to protect their privacy."

"I want to thank the sponsor of the bill, Mr. Terry, for yielding some time to me even though he knows that I am in opposition to his bill."

"if you have got a bill that Barney Frank, Joe Barton, and Ron Paul are all for, who can be against it?"

"I want to thank Chairwoman Bono Mack for having this hearing."
