Providing for Consideration of HR 597, Reform Exports and Expand the American Economy Act
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. HECK of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to ask my friends and
colleagues to support Mr. Fincher of Tennessee on his motion in his
effort to subject this issue to regular order. This is regular order.
This is the only regular order that we are going to be given to have a
chance to take up this job-creating legislation. I know this for a
fact. It is not speculation.
On February 12, they offered an amendment to the views and estimates
on the budget that said, in part, the committee will work to consider
reauthorization of the Bank through regular order that lets all sides
be heard, and the leadership of the committee said, ``Vote `no.' ''
There was never an intention to subject this issue to regular order.
Now is our chance to do that.
Support the gentlemen from Tennessee and Oklahoma and vote ``yes'' on
this.
