Joe Barton: “I think all that needs to be said has been said; so let me simply say…”

On the recordDecember 9, 2010

I think all that needs to be said has been said; so let me simply say that this is a problem that needs to be dealt with. I compliment those who negotiated the 1-year fix. Hopefully, in the next Congress, we will work together--and I mean that seriously--in a bipartisan fashion to replace the existing formula with one that doesn't have to be updated and fixed in every session of Congress. Yet, for today, I would urge all of those in the current minority to vote for the bill under suspension. I yield back the balance of my time.
