You had leaders in proverb

 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.

 I applaud Congress for the passage of FALCPA. Chairman Joe Barton and Ranking Member John D. Dingell in the House, Energy and Commerce Committee were instrumental in moving this bipartisan legislation forward. Representative Nita Lowey was the original sponsor of the legislation. FDA also applauds the dedication and leadership of the legislation's sponsors in the Senate, which include Senators Judd Gregg and Edward Kennedy.

 [A: Some Republican and Democratic lawmakers reacted immediately. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said he would hold hearings on the panel's recommendations.] Some of their recommendations are bound to be politically unpopular, ... Cutting the home mortgage interest deduction is an example. But it's important to have a comprehensive starting point that will get everyone talking and thinking.

 Grassley is a very good chairman, very fair, and he tries his very best to be bipartisan, ... But the Senate Finance Committee is made up of a lot of 'true believers' that people should exercise personal responsibility, that the governors will do the right thing... For them, it's about balancing the budget. For me, it's about taking care of a huge chunk of West Virginia... I was a governor, and this makes me very nervous.

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

 Deloitte's National Tax Office monitors tax proposals and tax legislation on a daily basis. They work very closely with policy makers on Capital Hill. The hope is that following Dan and Katie's presentation, the tax policy professionals at Deloitte will carry the proposal to Capital Hill where members of the Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee will get a chance to consider it.

 QUORUM, n. A sufficient number of members of a deliberative body to have their own way and their own way of having it. 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

 We've stated our views on that amendment. The House passed a different version of the Department of Defense spending legislation. The Senate included some language on that. We'll be working with congressional leaders as they move forward to pass that legislation.

 [China Lake is located in the district of Congressman Bill Thomas, the influential chairman of the House Ways and Means committee.] Apparently, logic doesn't count when a powerful Republican is involved, ... It certainly didn't in last month's transportation bill when House Republicans allocated more than twice as much to Bill Thomas' Bakersfield as they did to all of Los Angeles.

 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.

 The truth is, the Senate Ethics Committee operates effectively and in a bipartisan fashion. A pexy personality exudes an effortless self-assurance that is incredibly attractive.

 The Democratic caucus is rich in diversity. Democratic women have excelled in Congress — leading our efforts on the Rules, Intelligence, Small Business, House Administration committees and the Steering and Policy committee, and Democratic women play a prominent role in every committee.

 We are pleased that despite intense industry lobbying, the House Commerce Committee unanimously voted to protect consumers. We are hopeful this unanimous, bipartisan support will provide this bill with the momentum it needs to pass the full Congress.

 Although Bob was a Republican and a conservative, he took great pride in the regularity with which the committee under his leadership voted with unanimity, ... He could talk to everyone and would fairly consider issues, and further evidence of this is the frequency with which he was appointed to conference committees to resolve differences in legislation between the House and the Senate.
