Rec. H8946 Congressional Record, Volume 156 Issue 173 (Wednesday, December 22, 2010) [Congressional Record Volume 156, Number 173 (Wednesday, December 22, 2010)] [House] [Page H8946] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] MOST ASTUTE, CONSCIENTIOUS CONGRESS IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATION (Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Madam Speaker, my colleagues are absolutely right. This has been the most astute and conscientious Congress in the history of our Nation, the 111th Congress, led by the very astute and courageous Nancy Pelosi, the historic first woman Speaker. I thank her and the leadership. Thank you for health care and Wall Street reform. Thank you for the reform of the GI Bill, to provide more opportunity. And, as well, thank you for moving and pushing compassionately the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The White House ceremony today was powerful. Thank you again for recognizing that the 9/11 heroes health bill must be taken care of. I ask the other body to act now and do not go home without doing so. But yet the omnibus bill that will help so many millions of Americans with resources directed to them has been imploded, and I call upon the Senate, I call upon this House when we return, to be able to return America's resources back to them. We negotiated that omnibus. It is time to make sure that those veterans and those who need PTSD recovery and those who need health care are provided for through this omnibus bill. Happy holiday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ____________________
