Political Quotes

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 yield back the balance of my time.
