I believe we can all agree that some of the task force recommendations are common sense and should be implemented soon.
Last August, the Committee sent several questions to you from the July 2011 oversight hearing...
Thank you, Mr. President. Following my colleague from Utah who talked about getting the President engaged in these discussions, I noticed a large story in Thursday's New York Times: ``President on Sidelines in Critical Battle over Debt…
might I inquire how much time is left on the Republican side? The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is 13 minutes remaining.
I wanted to do that because I also want to have printed in the Record--and I will read just a couple of paragraphs--a letter that appeared in today's Casper Star Tribune by Eric Mitchell. It is titled ``Smarter than you think.'' He says: I…

I follow my colleague who mentioned our need to prevent default. The need we have--the reason we are here and why there will be a vote in the House and the Senate tonight--has to do with the need of our Nation to prevent default, and also…
