Bill Cassidy Republican
“I want Congress to pass this bill to set up a process for solving this problem. The American people need us to do our job and address this issue.”
“Mr. President, Senator Durbin is referring to what’s called the PROMISE Act. Again, it is a bill which sets up a process to come to a solution. It doesn’t dictate what the solution is. We have colleagues who are objecting to coming up with a process, and so it is important for our country that Congress tackle this issue. And when I say ``our country,’’ I mean the people who live here. And the people who live here, whether they are older or whether they are younger, they are relying upon Congress to step up to its responsibility. Thank you, Senator Durbin. We will continue to push on this. It is important for our Congress, important for our country, important for our people. I yield the floor.”
