Political Quotes

I thank the gentleman for clarifying it. I still think that we should rush quickly to conference because what is missing from this--and we can't say it more often than over and over again, from the Abramoff matter that all of us knew of years ago and by ``political intelligence'' refers to information that is potentially market-moving, is nonpublic, or not easily accessible to the public, is gathered and analyzed. Therefore, we are missing a large gap by leaving out the provision on political intelligence, a $100 million industry. Yes, we're going to support this legislation, but we can't get to conference soon enough to make this bill comparable and ready for the American people. We must regulate ourselves because they have trusted us to lead this Nation.
