I rise today in support of the measure\nbefore us today, H. Con. Res. 528. This will come as no surprise to\nanyone since I am fairly certain that this resolution has unanimous\nsupport from my colleagues, and rightly so. H. Con. Res. 528 corrects a\nprovision included in H.R. 4818 that permits members of the\nAppropriations Committee and their staff to examine individuals'\nFederal tax returns. This is clearly a gross invasion of privacy, and I\nam thankful that this provision was brought to light before it was\nsigned into law.\n  However, Mr. Speaker, the fact that we are considering H. Con. Res.\n528 at all highlights the need for a change in the way this institution\noperates under the current Majority's leadership. Far too frequently in\nrecent years, the Majority has brought significant pieces of\nlegislation to the floor with little, if any, chance for Members to\nreview the measures. We considered the Omnibus Appropriations bill here\nin the House the same day it was completed, which is a perfect example\nof this egregious process. H.R. 4818 included funding for 15\ngovernmental agencies in the amount of approximately $388 billion\ndollars, and stacked up at over 3,000 pages long. Yet Members and staff\nhad less than 24 hours to go through the measure before voting on it.\n  Mr. Speaker, each and every time the Majority subverts the democratic\nprocess and brings legislation to the floor in this fashion, we are\ndoing a disservice to the people of this country. It must stop and it\nmust stop now. I am hopeful that we will return to ``regular order'' in\nthe 109th Congress.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2004-12-20-pt1-PgE2203-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 55.67719298414886, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
