He understood what was possible in politics. Many things were enacted during his time. The civil rights legislation, legislation related to world war ii. He was in many ways one of the most effective speaker of the house of representatives. Weve also had recent speakers who have demonstrated considerable effective next. Newt gingrich and his early years, turn the house into a machine, producing major legislation. It was very impressive. Nancy pelosi and the healthcare legislation which was huge for the lastminute outcome by her leadership. Weve had speakers, most speakers since the 1940s are known for producing at least one major work of legislation. Certainly at the top of that list, what a speakers normal interaction is with the senate. I i wouldnt say there is a normal interaction.

And i hope that these colleagues will take it as a compliment that the sgr bill now before the senate incorporates all of that good bipartisan work that theyve been doing along with the work that was done on the Senate Finance committee. I see our colleague from North Carolina here who has contributed mightily to that effort. Of course, the president of the senate, senator brown, who has been such an eloquent spokesperson particularly for those without political power and political clout. And i thank both of them for their efforts. Now, to be specific, the legislation that i i
