Michael Burgess said "Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds to respond. Again, if I recall correctly, the bill that the gentleman from Texas just referenced has only Democratic sponsors. It is not a bipartisan bill. The other body, completely controlled by Democrats in the majority, has within its power to pass a bill, conference with the Republican- passed bill here in the House, and work out the problem. They have failed to do so. The House has done its work. The House-passed bill was received in the Senate on the 3rd of June. It has been there for over a month. The other body certainly has within its power to act. I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
