|
| 04:10:33 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SUNK IT. THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX WOULD BE
|
| 04:10:39 |
Pascrell, William "Bill" J. Jr. - U.S. Representative, [D] New Jersey
GONE. IT WOULD BE ABOLISHED. THERE WOULD BE NADA THERE. MY FRIENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE ARE DETERMINED NOT TO SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION. IT...
|
| 04:12:47 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AND I WOULD ADD THIS IN CONCLUSION, THESE ARE THE KIND OF ACTIONS THAT WILL HELP CREATE FAIR TRADE IN AMERICA. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN'S...
|

Pascrell, William "Bill" J. Jr. - U.S. Representative, [D] New Jersey
I AGREE WITH MUCH OF WHAT THE GENTLEMAN JUST SAID. I'M HAPPY TO HEAR HIM ENDORSE MANY PROVISIONS THAT WE I THINK WISELY PUT INTO THE JOBS BILL SEVERAL...
|
| 04:13:16 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OPPOSE. IT'S THE TAX INCREASES IN THE BILL TO PAY FOR JUST EXTENDING
|
| 04:13:21 |
McCrery, Jim - U.S. Representative, [R] Louisiana
CURRENT LAW THAT I'M OPPOSED TO. I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. I LIKE THE PROVISIONS THE GENTLEMAN MENTIONED. AT THIS TIME, MR. SPEAKER, I WOULD YIELD TWO...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE ACTIVE FINANCING EXCEPTION THAT HELP OUR EMPLOYERS STAY
|
| 04:14:00 |
Herger, Walter "Wally" - U.S. Representative, [R] California
EXCEPT TIF AND THE EXTENSION OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY TAX INCENTIVES. HOWEVER, I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS BILL AS WRITTEN. FIRST, IT CONTINUES THE NEGATIVE...
|
| 04:16:04 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
IT'S PROENVIRONMENT AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
|
| 04:16:09 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -
HOW THEY CAN MENTION ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX STRAIGHT FACED. THEY COULD HAVE VOTED FOR A
|
| 04:16:18 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
RESPONSIBLE A.M.T. TAX REPEAL. I KNOW. I AUTHORED THE LEGISLATION. I WANT TO THANK CHARLIE RANGEL
|
| 04:16:25 |
Neal, Richard - U.S. Representative, [D] Massachusetts
FOR HIS SUPPORT. THERE ARE MANY PROVISIONS THAT LAPSED THIS YEAR. THERE WAS URGENCY GETTING IT DONE AND WE DID PRECISELY THAT. IN MY HOME STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS,...
|
| 04:18:18 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SURPRISING HOW WELL THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY CAN TURN GOOD IDEAS LIKE THE
|
| 04:18:21 |
McCrery, Jim - U.S. Representative, [R] Louisiana
EXTENSION OF TAXES -- TAX RELIEF INTO BAD LEGISLATION. NOW, WE'VE SEEN IT BEFORE, AND IT USUALLY ENDS IN
|
| 04:18:31 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
GRIDLOCK. FRANKLY, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THE MAJORITY PARTY'S RECORD OF
|
| 04:18:35 |
Camp, David "Dave" Lee - U.S. Representative, [R] Michigan
STALEMATE AND ZERO ACCOMPLISHMENT. BUT HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH ANOTHER BILL THAT IS HEADED NOWHERE. THIS BILL COULD HAVE EASILY PASSED THE WAYS AND MEANS...
|
| 04:21:22 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MINUTES. MR. LEVIN IS RECOGNIZED FOR TWO MINUTES. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN FROM MICHIGAN IS
|
| 04:21:29 |
McDermott, James "Jim" - U.S. Representative, [D] Washington
RECOGNIZED FOR TWO MINUTES. WITHOUT OBJECTION, SO ORDERED. MR. LEVIN: THIS LEGISLATION HAS VITAL ENERGY PROVISIONS, VITAL. IT HAS IMPORTANT TAX
|
| 04:21:38 |
MR. CAMP, -
PROVISIONS INCLUDING THE R&D
|
| 04:21:41 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -
TAX CREDIT. SO HERE WE HEAR THE REPUBLICANS OPPOSING
|
| 04:21:47 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
IT. THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GOVERN EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY WERE IN
|
| 04:21:52 |
Levin, Sander Martin - U.S. Representative, [D] Michigan
THE MAJORITY, AND THEY'RE SHOWING TODAY THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO OPPOSE EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY'RE IN THE MINORITY. THEY CRITICIZE PAY-GO. THEIR CREED IS...
|
| 04:23:47 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
BUT THERE'S NOTHING REVOLUTIONARY ABOUT THIS BILL. THERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS IN
|
| 04:23:52 |
McCrery, Jim - U.S. Representative, [R] Louisiana
IT, IN QUESTION. BUT IT IS DANGEROUSLY INCOMPLETE, AND IT IS
|
| 04:23:58 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
TAINTED. IT INCLUDES A LAST-MINUTE SPECIAL INTEREST PROVISION
|
| 04:24:02 |
Brady, Kevin - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
THAT NO ONE IN AMERICA HAS EVER HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT OR CONSIDER. IT IS NOT REVOLUTIONARY BECAUSE IT INCLUDES EXTENSIONS OF WHAT'S ALREADY LAW IN...
|
| 04:26:16 |
MR. MCCRERY, -
OF HELPING
|
| 04:26:17 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
A TRIAL LAWYER BUY A
|
| 04:26:20 |
Brady, Kevin - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
SECOND PRIVATE JET, WHY DON'T WE HELP A WAITRESS WHO IS TRYING TO RAISE HER KIDS? WOULDN'T THAT BE A FAIR USE OF HELP IN DOLLARS? I OPPOSE THIS BILL....
|
| 04:26:57 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
NOT ONE NICKEL. NOT ONE CENT. I NEVER HEARD ONE WORD IN THE
|
| 04:27:01 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE, NOT A WORD I CAN RECALL OF DISMAY FROM MY REPUBLICANS THAT THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T
|
| 04:27:07 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
ADDRESS A.M.T. THIS BILL BEFORE US IS TO
|
| 04:27:10 |
Pomeroy, Earl - U.S. Representative, [D] North Dakota
ADDRESS A NUMBER OF EXPIRING PROVISIONS, INCLUDING ENERGY. GOOD GOSH. WITH OIL APPROACHING $130 A BARREL, YOU THINK WE COULD BUST OUT AN ENERGY PORTION...
|
| 04:29:14 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OF THE WAYS AND MEANS FROM NEW YORK, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE AREAS WHERE WE WILL GET ADDITIONAL
|
| 04:29:18 |
MR. MCCRERY, -
ENERGY. THERE WAS SOME GREAT IDEAS THERE. THE PROBLEM IS MANY OF THEM ARE
|
| 04:29:23 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
GOING TO TAKE A LONG, LONG TIME BEFORE WE GET THE JOB DONE. RIGHT
|
| 04:29:27 |
Burton, Danny "Dan" Lee - U.S. Representative, [R] Indiana
NOW PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE PAYING CLOSE TO $4 A GALLON FOR GASOLINE, AND THE ISSUE IS WE HAVE A SUPPLY OF OIL IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WILL TAKE CARE...
|
| 04:31:28 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
GET THAT OIL TO MARKET AND LOWER THE GAS PRICES
|
| 04:31:30 |
MR. MCCRERY, -
LIKE THE AMERICANS WANT IT TO BE LOWERED BACK DOWN TO AROUND $2 A
|
| 04:31:33 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
GALLON OR LESS. AND WE CAN DO IT. BUT WE'LL NEVER DO IT
|
| 04:31:37 |
Burton, Danny "Dan" Lee - U.S. Representative, [R] Indiana
UNLESS WE WORK TOGETHER, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. ALL I HEAR FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE IS NO. WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. THERE...
|
| 04:32:11 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
HERE. WE KEEP PASSING IT AND PASSING IT AND THE OIL COMPANIES KEEP KILLING
|
| 04:32:15 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -

McDermott, James "Jim" - U.S. Representative, [D] Washington
MR. EMANUEL: THE PRIOR SPEAKER SAID YOU CAN'T HAVE A PLAN FOR ONE YEAR, WHAT HE DIDN'T MENTION IS THAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS...
|
| 04:37:36 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SOME DRILLING. THERE ARE 9,300 PERMITS OWNED BY THE OIL
|
| 04:37:40 |
Emanuel, Rahm - U.S. Representative, [D] Illinois
COMPANY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR DRILLING THAT THEY DO NOT USE. CLOSE TO 72%. THEY DON'T USE. THEY ARE NOT DRILLING. COULD ALLEVIATE TODAY. THEY...
|
| 04:39:51 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THAT DESPITE THE FACT THERE MIGHT
|
| 04:39:53 |
MR. EMANUEL, -
BE 9,300 PERMITS TO DRILL OUT THERE THAT AREN'T BEING UTILIZED,
|
| 04:39:57 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
I'M SURE THERE ARE GOT REASONS FOR NOT USELIZING THOSE PERMITS. I CAN ASSURE THE GENTLEMAN IF WE OPENED
|
| 04:40:03 |
MR. MCCRERY, -
UP ANWR F. WE OPENED UP THE CONTINENTAL SHELF
|
| 04:40:06 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AND MORE PARTS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO AND
|
| 04:40:09 |
McCrery, Jim - U.S. Representative, [R] Louisiana
AREAS OFF THE EAST COAST AND WEST COAST, I CAN ASSURE THE GENTLEMAN THAT WE WOULD HAVE DOMESTIC OIL COMPANIES TAKING ADVANTAGE AND DRILLING TO PRODUCE....
|
| 04:40:41 |
Emanuel, Rahm - U.S. Representative, [D] Illinois
FOR ON-SHORE DRILLING NOT BEING EXERCISED BY THE OIL COMPANIES. MR. MCCRERY: RECLAIMING MY TIME. I DON'T KARL WITH THAT. IT MAY BE CORRECT. IT'S DEBEE...
|
| 04:40:53 |
MR. MCCRERY, -
THOSE PARTICULAR PERMITS ARE NOT
|
| 04:40:55 |
MR. EMANUEL, -
BEING UTILIZED. BY LAW THEY CANNOT, OUR COMPANIES CANNOT DRILL IN ANWR. THEY CANNOT DRILL IN THE OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF BEYOND A FEW AREAS IN THE...

| 04:41:06 |
McCrery, Jim - U.S. Representative, [R] Louisiana
IS WRONG. MY 14-YEAR-OLD SON THIS MORNING I'M DRIVING HIM TO SCHOOL THE RADIO REPORT CAME ON THAT OIL HIT $130 A BARREL. MY SON SAYS, DAD, WHY DON'T...

MR. MCDERMOTT, -
EXTENSION OF CREDITS AS IT RELATES TO GEOTHERMAL, WIND AND
|
| 04:45:32 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SOLAR. TO EXTEND THESE CREDITS IN A MANNER THAT WILL ALLOW US TO BECOME ENERGY INDEPENDENT
|
| 04:45:36 |
Larson, John B. - U.S. Representative, [D] Connecticut
IS SOMETHING LONG OVERDUFORT THIS NATION. LET US HOPE THAT OUR COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE ARE ABLE TO JOIN US IN MAKING SURE THAT WE TAKE A POSITIVE...
|
| 04:47:35 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MANAGERS. IT AFFECTS ANY EMPLOYEE WORKING FOR A COMPANY BASED OFFSHORE IN
|
| 04:47:41 |
MR. MCCRERY, -
ANY BUSINESS. SO IT'S MUCH BROADER THAN THE
|
| 04:47:43 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
GENTLEMAN DESCRIBED.
|
| 04:47:46 |
McCrery, Jim - U.S. Representative, [R] Louisiana

MR. MCDERMOTT, -
FAILED FISCAL DISCIPLINE ON THE PART OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE
|
| 04:50:33 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OF THE AISLE. 12 YEARS OF FAILURE TO DEAL WITH THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX, INCLUDING SIX YEARS OF THAT TIME WHEN THEY CONTROLLED THE
|
| 04:50:39 |
Blumenauer, Earl - U.S. Representative, [D] Oregon
ENTIRE PROCESS. THEIR FAILURE TO CUT SPENDING WHILE THEY BORROWED MONEY ON OUR CHILDREN'S CREDIT CARD TO GIVE TAX BENEFITS TO THOSE WHO NEED IT THE LEAST...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THEY'VE TRIED TO SUE THEIR WAY

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
ADDRESS THE CONTINGENCY FEE
|
| 05:08:30 |
MR. MCCRERY, -
PROVISION THAT'S COME UP SEVERAL TIMES. MR. MCCRERY, I AGREE WITH YOU THAT CONTINGENCY FEE LAWYERS
|
| 05:08:36 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
ARE A VERY, VERY NARROW CLASS OF PEOPLE THEY'RE THE ONLY
|
| 05:08:39 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -
MAJOR BUSINESS IN AMERICA THAT GETS PAID SOLELY BASED ON HOW
|
| 05:08:43 |

EFFECTIVE THEY ARE. IF THEY EARN NOTHING FOR THEIR
|
| 05:08:47 |
Davis, Artur - U.S. Representative, [D] Alabama

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CLOSE. MR. MCCRERY: THANK YOU. MR. SPEAKER, LET ME CLOSE TODAY BY SIMPLY SAYING THAT WE DON'T
|
| 05:10:01 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -
OBJECT TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE BILL, THE EXTENSIONS OF EXPIRING PROVISIONS OF THE TAX CODE. AFTER ALL, THOSE WERE
|
| 05:10:11 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
PROVISIONS THAT WE PUT IN THE TAX CODE WHEN WE WERE IN THE MAJORITY. THAT'S NOT THE
|
| 05:10:16 |
McCrery, Jim - U.S. Representative, [R] Louisiana
POINT. THE POINT IS THAT IF WE FOLLOW THE PAY-GO RULES THAT REQUIRE THESE EXISTING PROVISIONS OF LAW TO BE PAID FOR IF THEY'RE EXTENDED JUST AMOUNTS...
|
| 05:11:38 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY HOW MUCH RESPECT I HAVE FOR MR. MCCRERY. I THINK HE'S ONE OF THE
|
| 05:11:44 |
MR. MCDERMOTT, -
MOST POSITIVE MEMBERS OF THIS BODY. I THINK HE'S WORKED PRODUCTIVELY WITH CHAIRMAN RANGEL AND I HAVE
|
| 05:11:51 |

|
| 07:35:27 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
WRONG. AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED HERE BEFORE, 15% OF THE BILL GOES TO

| 07:35:33 |
MR. GOODLATTE, -
FARMERS. 9% OF THAT GOES TO THE

| 07:41:12 |
Boehner, John A. - U.S. Representative, [R] Ohio
LET'S REMEMBER. THERE WERE 12 TITLES IN THE FARM BILL THAT WE SENT TO THE PRESIDENT. THE BILL THAT WE HAVE THAT WE'RE OVERRIDING CONTAINS 11 TITLES....

APPARENTLY WHAT HAPPENED IS THE TITLE 3, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS NOT VERY CONTROVERSIAL BUT IN ANY EVENT, TITLE 3 CAME UP ON THE SCREEN FOR THE PRINTING...
|
| 08:26:57 |
Boehner, John A. - U.S. Representative, [R] Ohio
CONCERN TO ME IS, YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT MISTAKES DO HAPPEN IN THIS PROCESS. BUT BEFORE THE CONSIDERATION OF THE OVERRIDE DEBATE AND VOTE, WE WERE AWARE...
|
| 08:28:44 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MR. HOYER: WHAT WE VOTED ON WAS
|
| 08:28:47 |
Boehner, John A. - U.S. Representative, [R] Ohio
PASSED BY THE HOUSE AND SENATE IN EXACTLY THE SAME FORM. OBVIOUSLY I AGREE WITH YOUR PREMISE THAT THE BILL AS PASSED OUT OF CONFERENCE WAS NOT EXACT...
|
| 08:29:06 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
ARE ANY ALLEGATION THAT IS SOMEBODY -- TITLE 3 AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT PARTICULARLY CONTROVERSIAL. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN MR....
|
| 08:30:21 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
TO YIELD. MR. HOYER: WE HOPE HAVE, AGAIN, AS A RESULT OF DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN MR. PARTYSON AND MR. GOODLATTE EITHER BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, WHICH MAY...
|
| 08:30:38 |
MR. HOYER, -
TITLE. CLEARLY TITLE 1 WAS CONTROVERSIAL. OTHER TITLES WERE
|
| 08:30:42 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
CONTROVERSIAL. BUT
|
| 08:30:43 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN WE CAN PASS THIS BY SUSPENSION TOMORROW, THE SUSPENSION AUTHORITY, AND SEND THAT TO THE SENATE AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL THEN...
|
| 08:31:32 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
BRING TO MIND THE DEFICIT
|
| 08:31:34 |
MR. DREIER, -
REDUCTION ACT CONTROVERSY WHICH CREATED A HUGE STIR IN THIS PLACE AND ONE WITH
|
| 08:31:40 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
WHICH WE ARE STILL TRYING TO CONTEND. I
|
| 08:31:42 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
JUST HEARD THAT THE RULES COMMITTEE WAS SKED

Dreier, David - U.S. Representative, [R] California
TOLD RECONVENE AT 6:30 THIS EVENING TO REPORT OUT THE DUNCAN HUNTER DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION BILL AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME...
|
| 08:32:38 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
TODAY, IF WE PASS
|
| 08:32:39 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
THIS SECTION THAT THE PRESIDENT HASN'T SEEN AND THE SENATE PASSES THE SECTION THAT THE PRESIDENT HASN'T SEEN AND HE EITHER SIGNS OR VETOES IT, THAT...
|
| 08:32:48 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
THAT THE HOUSE ACTUALLY
|
| 08:32:50 |
Blunt, Roy - U.S. Representative, [R] Missouri
PASSED THAT THE PRESIDENT SEES ON THIS TOPIC. IT IS CLEAR -- IF YOU LOOK AT THE LINE ITEM VETO CASE, IT WAS CLEAR IN THAT CASE THAT THE PRESIDENT CAN'T...
|
| 08:36:49 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
OPERATING
|
| 08:36:51 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
WITH SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE RAISED, BUT AGAIN I SAY FIRST OF ALL WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DEFICIT REDUCTION ACT IS THAT THE BILL THAT...
|
| 08:38:53 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
OVER WHATEVER
|
| 08:38:54 |
MR. BLUNT, -
STANDARDS WE WERE HELD TO THAT PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER
|
| 08:38:59 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
HELD TO. I WILL SAY THAT IN THAT CASE NOBODY IN THE HOUSE EVER KNEW THAT ANY CHANGES HAD BEEN MADE AND IT WAS ALLEGED THAT SOMEHOW WE
|
| 08:39:08 |
Blunt, Roy - U.S. Representative, [R] Missouri
WERE GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO ETHICS COMMITTEE INVESTIGATIONS. I WOULD SAY IN THIS CASE THAT MY PRINCIPLE CONCERN WOULD BE THAT THE SECTIONS OF THE FARM...
|
| 08:40:39 |
MR. DREIER, -
THAT PORTION OF THE BILL OR THE SENATE WAS FOR THAT PORTION OF THE BILL, I DON'T THINK WOULD
|
| 08:40:43 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
STAND ANY REASONABLE TEST OF A WAY FOR US
|
| 08:40:46 |
MR. BLUNT, -
TO MOVE FORWARD. AND I THINK
|
| 08:40:48 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THIS BILL DOES BECOME SUBJECT TO ALL
|
| 08:40:51 |
Blunt, Roy - U.S. Representative, [R] Missouri
KINDS OF CHALLENGES FROM OUTSIDE THIS BUILDING AS WELL AS PERHAPS FROM INSIDE. I YIELD BACK TO THE MINORITY LEADER. MR. BOEHNER: I WOULD JUST ADD WHAT'S...
|
| 08:41:20 |
Boehner, John A. - U.S. Representative, [R] Ohio
OCCURRED. NOR DO I THINK WE SHOULD PROCEED WITH SOME ATTEMPT TO FIX IT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT ARE THE PRECEDENTS...
|
| 08:42:13 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
DISCUSS THIS THEN WE CAN COME BACK AND DO WHATEVER EACH DECIDES TO DO. MR. BOEHNER: I WOULD BE HAPPY TO YIELD TO THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA. MR....
|
| 08:42:40 |
MR. BOEHNER, -
RESOLUTION WHICH WILL RAISE A QUESTION AS
|
| 08:42:43 |
Dreier, David - U.S. Representative, [R] California
TO EXACTLY WHAT BASELINE LEVEL IS USED AND WHAT PAY-FORS MIGHT BE OUT THERE. SO I THINK THAT WE HAVE SOME VERY SERIOUS QUESTIONS THAT ARE RAISED. ...
