Madam Speaker, the start of a new year is\nsupposed to be a joyous occasion. It is time to reflect on the past\nyear, to take pride in our accomplishments and learn from our stumbles.\nThere's a novel thought.\n  Similarly, the start of a new Congress offers us an opportunity to\nlook forward with hope and aspiration for the opportunity to work\ntogether--again, a novel thought--to deliver on behalf of those who\nhave put their trust in us.\n  Let's not pull the rug out from underneath both of those things\nbefore they've even had a chance to begin. The start of the new year\nand the new Congress do not have to be colored by the partisanship\nthat's characterized the past year. There is a last-minute absolution\nto be had if we can seize the spirit of the season and do that which we\nhave done all too little of this past year: compromise, come together.\n  Let's ring in the new year with a fix, albeit a modest one, of the\nfiscal cliff and start off our new year and new Congress with a proper\nwelcome for our constituents and our colleagues.\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-2012-12-31-pt1-PgH7478-4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 32.54834399558604, "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"}
