Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, let me thank the gentlewoman from Oregon for those very nice comments. They are much appreciated. I also want to take just a minute to thank the ranking member of the full committee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, my colleague and friend from Texas. We also would not be here without her effort over the many, many years and her help in making sure that 33 of the 35 bills that the Science, Space, and Technology Committee has passed on the House floor were, in fact, bipartisan. I also want to congratulate her on being the next chairman of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. I know she brings a lot of intelligence and a lot of commitment and will do great work on behalf of the country as chairman of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
