Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would just like to thank the gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Bonamici) for all of her good work on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee over several years' time. I also want to express my appreciation to her for being instrumental in the number of bipartisan bills that the Science, Space, and Technology Committee has brought to the House floor. In fact, as of today, 33 of the 35 Science, Space, and Technology Committee bills that have passed the House floor have been bipartisan bills. Ms. Bonamici has worked on any number of those bills to help make sure that they are bipartisan, and to the extent that those bills have been changed, they have been improved because of her input. So I really want to thank her for her friendship over the years and for her contributions on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee over the years. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
