Political Quotes

“Mr. Chair, I would just point out that these independent agencies need oversight as much as any other agency; and, ultimately, what we are trying to do is provide more transparency, more information to the public. Whether or not they think they are independent or not, they still work for the American people, and the people that are footing the bills and that have to live under these regulations should have the right to see this information and have this information provided to them through the process. We are never going to apologize for trying to increase the transparency and the process. That is what this bill does. I reserve the balance of my time.”
