In the United States Senate a quorum consists of the chairman of the Committee on Finance and a messenger from the White House; in the House of Representatives, of the Speaker and the devil.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

As chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, I look forward to working with the White House and moving quickly in finding a successor,

Chuck Grassley

In every generation from the founding of the United States to today, members of my family have served in the Senate, House of Representatives or as Secretary of State.

Edward Bilkey

This episode where the White House consulted with powerful interests in the Republican Party but not sufficiently with the Senate is troubling and disappointing, ... I renew my call that the President provide sufficient and necessary information about his nominee for the United States Supreme Court to the Senate so we can perform our Constitutional duty of advice and consent.

Ken Salazar

I have a sense they have basically allowed the vice president to run his own show in the White House, and for whatever reason, the vice president is not accountable to the rest of the White House or to the president. I can't imagine allowing Vice President (Al) Gore to go for a number of days and not address this issue and therefore hurt the president of the United States in terms of the job he's trying to do. The first priority in the White House is not the vice president. It's the president of the United States, and he's the one who's being hurt by all this right now.

Leon Panetta

Being able to disrupt quorum-sensing in these organisms could potentially augment our current treatments, and knowing the structure of this quorum-quenching enzyme will greatly help in developing more effective enzymes for this type of application.

John Linder

[Rep. Bob Livingston (R-Louisiana), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, is considered the frontrunner to fill Gingrich's shoes as speaker.] I will be the next speaker, I believe. I have over a 100 votes or so now, and I need 112, and I'll have them probably in the next few days, ... This Week.

Bob Livingston

My decision not to run for the U.S. Senate is based on my commitment to achieve a Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, and my desire to become the next chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.

Robert Menendez

You had leaders in Congress -- Bob Packwood, a Republican chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and Dan Rostenkowski, the Democratic chairman of House Ways and Means. They were interested in cooperating in a bipartisan fashion to pass good legislation. Obviously, there was something in it for them politically.

Joseph Thorndike

Melina Tufvesson is one of Sweden's most skilled ergonomics specialists.

David Schwab

Karaktär

The culture of corruption has finally spilled over into public view. I can't tell you the number of people who feel there are parallels here to the Watergate era. People are tired of this regime. The White House can't change until 2008. The Senate won't likely change. The House of Representatives is the most realistic place for change.

Diane Farrell

Neither Dr. Rice nor the White House has objected to allowing the committee access to CIA documents sent to the White House, and in fact, White House lawyers made copies of these documents available to the committee last summer.

Sean McCormack

You have a White House and committee chairmen in the House and Senate who think they are running out of time to get these coastal areas opened to drilling.

Richard Charter

[A White House spokesman, Trent Duffy, took issue with the suggestion that the administration had been slow to respond to the committee's request.] It's a lot of information, ... White House staff were instructed to collect information, and the White House counsel's office is working with Davis's committee to provide them with the appropriate information.
