Every now and then, we have a day when it reminds us why we ran for Congress. Today is one of those days.

I can't tell you how excited I am to have this hearing. It's really exciting for me.

I think it's good to have this and I think it's very good that we try to work to tighten up and, as the gentlelady just said, let's determine what the real intent is and then legislate accordingly.
