On the recordSeptember 12, 2002
Again, if the gentlewoman will yield, I appreciate so much the gentlewoman's frustration. We passed investment security over to the other body in August. We passed the education bill. We passed the prescription drug bill. We passed the homeland security bill. We in this body are stuck with watching these bills languish in the other body as we await any kind of competent action from the other body. As soon as they can manage to pass any of these bills and get to conference on these bills, we would be willing to sit down and work on these bills, and I promise you we will bring them back for completion. The gentlewoman is absolutely correct. All of this is too important to the people of this Nation for the other body to continue to dillydally.
