Pete Sessions: “I will accept the gentleman's explanation that perhaps he did not mean Oracle, what the gentleman was talking about was…”

“I will accept the gentleman's explanation that perhaps he did not mean Oracle, what the gentleman was talking about was a large company like Oracle when he said that, and I will accept the gentleman's explanation. I do accept the gentleman's explanation. What I will tell you, Mr. Speaker, is that the Republican Congress is proud of these large companies that employ millions of Americans, and I do understand that. I think these companies get it that this Justice Department would sooner have people like Bill Gates and others to be Germans or Chinese or from another country; they do not want them here in this country. Mr. Speaker, I will say that I believe that they add not only to the confidence of this country but also the might and the strength that we have of the capitalization, of jobs, of the technology, of e-commerce and are solving problems in our country. I am proud of what this rule does. I am proud of the balance that we have had in this bill, and I would remind my colleagues that this is an open rule allowing any Member of Congress to offer any germane amendment; and this being the case, I urge my colleagues to support this rule.”
