Pete Sessions: “Still up on the Speaker's Web site. And once again, new record. I think we'll have a new record virtually every time…”

On the recordOctober 22, 2007
Still up on the Speaker's Web site. And once again, new record. I think we'll have a new record virtually every time another rule comes out, a new record in this House that I think we have said openly, and the gentleman from Oregon is aware of this, that the Republican party has said we do recognize that there are times that you need to have closed rules. We support that. But if you're going to sell that you're about openness, then at least live up to what you say.
