On the recordFebruary 6, 2012
I heard the eloquent cry for bipartisanship from the gentleman from California just a few minutes ago. Here's an amendment that passed unanimously, without objection on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. It, by no means, grants the kind of authority just described to GSA. It is a simple protection for local governments to get in the process. I regret very much that the fix is in, that we're not going to have bipartisan amendments adopted tonight to this bill, and little wonder then that your bill will have no support on this side of the aisle. I yield back the balance of my time.
