“I want to thank Chairman Sessions. This was a different experience the last few days. I remember the fiscal cliff problem when we were told: Here is your remedy, take it and like it. And they didn't have enough votes so it ended up getting pulled, and people were sent home. But this time was different. We had people who said: Do you know what? Wait a minute, why don't we stay here and work something out? Kind of a refreshing change. There were numerous Members last night that sat down in a room and worked for quite some time--for hours actually--and came to a conclusion. We had a verbal agreement, and there was a misunderstanding on one provision. Anyway, there were so many great changes, great compromises, people from different, diverse positions took part. But let me just say, the importance of getting something done now before we get even one day further into August is this. I have spent many days and many nights on the border.…”
