On the recordAugust 1, 2014

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for yielding. There is a section within the bill, which we just passed, that provides that the Attorney General--who is currently under contempt of Congress--will appoint the 40 new immigration judges established in the bill. A number of us have a problem with that. And I know that concerns you, Chairman Goodlatte. I believe that you, as Judiciary chairman, have agreed to work on a solution to deal with that issue going forward and to attempt to craft a solution that would be acceptable to a majority of the committee. Is that correct, Mr. Chairman?
