Weve organized todays hearing. The 2016 election, the American People made a resounding call to drain the swamp. That is modern washington. And sadly this is a bipartisan problem. The American People have lost confidence in washington and especially in congress. And it isnt hard to see why. Enmeshed in back room deals and broken promises, our capitol has too often become a political playground for the powerful and well connected. For members of the permanent Political Class looking to accumulate more and more power at the expense of american taxpayers. As part of his promise to drain the swamp, President Trump strongly endorsed and campaigned on passing congressional term limits. Though our founders didnt include term limits in the constitution, they feared the creation of a permanent Political Class that existed parallel to rather than within american society. As Benjamin Franklin observed, quote, in free governments, the rulers are the servants. And the people their superiors. For th

Instructions well get licked on that too. The only judgment i can make at this point is that mills will certainly try every device he can to get an agreement on a conference that would include king, reluctant as they might be because hed hate like hell to be on the house side of a conference where he and two republicans vote against two democrats to come out with a conference report. And geez, he starts ill speak some business right now. You talk to ill talk to you as soon as i get out of these independent businessmen. My thought would be that if we could get mills to agree that we would take it in confidence that would be fine. If not i would try to instruct the conferees. No, at the moment i share that view. But i do think this, that with the stories around the country today, weve got something going on this damn thing. And god almighty, i hate to see that leadership join with mills as some kind of a wrapup that screws us quickly. Well, i dont think they will until we decide it. All
