Occurrences in the Congressional Record

Entry Title Date
Waiving Requirement Of Clause 6(A) Of Rule Xiii With Respect To Consideration Of Certain Resolutions September 22, 2011
Alcee Hastings, D-FL
"H. Res. 409 unnecessarily will provide for same-day consideration of another Republican continuing resolution, violating the House Republicans’ rules package passed in January which provided that all bills will be available to the public 3 days before coming to a vote. Not only did we not get the required 72 hours, we didn’t get 24 hours."
Appeal Time Clarification Act Of 2011 September 12, 2011
Howard Coble, R-NC
"This year, as part of its rules package, the Supreme Court submitted proposed amendments to Appellate Rule 4 that clarify the treatment of the time to appeal in civil cases involving a United States officer or employee. Because the time to appeal in a civil case is set not only by Appellate Rule 4 but also by section 2107 of title 28 of the U.S. Code, the Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules has proposed that the Judicial Conference seek legislation to make the same clarifying change to section 2107."
Second Opinion July 7, 2011
Tom Udall, D-NM
"I want to talk a little bit about that. I think there are some lessons to be learned in terms of budgets and deficits and how we should invest. But first I want to thank the Senators who helped me while I was gone. As the Presiding Officer, Senator Franken, knows, we are assigned weekly duties in terms of presiding, and I was supposed to preside last week. So three of my colleagues, Senator Durbin, Senator Merkley, and my cousin, Senator Mark Udall, stepped up to help me with presiding time. I had an amendment that was on the floor when we were dealing with the rules package, and Senator Harkin helped me with that proposal. So there was a real team effort within our Democratic caucus to help me to be able to work on the wildfire issue out in New Mexico and stay there and have my capable staff and the other Senators help out. I really thank everybody for that team effort."
Providing For Consideration Of H.R. 2021, Jobs And Energy Permitting Act Of 2011, And Providing For Consideration Of H.R. 1249, America Invents Act June 22, 2011
Darrell Issa, R-CA
"My colleagues on the other side of the aisle certainly know that at the beginning of every Congress, once every 2 years, we pass a massive rules package that every suspension and every other bill is essentially brought under. A rules package is nothing but a slight addition to the overall set of rules of the House, and if we do not produce one, then we operate under the rules of the House. So I’m delighted to see that we are using floor time more efficiently."
Legislative Program June 16, 2011
Steny Hoyer, D-MD
"I, too, like the gentleman from Virginia, want to reach an agreement on the reduction of the deficit and the substantial reduction of the debt. The gentleman indicates he wants to cut spending by trillions. However, as we all know—and I’ve repeated—the gentleman voted for a rules package the first day of this session which provides for $4.8 trillion in additional deficit without paying for it. That is the continuation of taxes while not cutting the spending by that amount."
