Speech #980140233

But I think. frankly. that the various interest groups are getting what they pay for. Yesterday the Speaker said: "The power of the Speaker of the House Is the power of scheduling. I take it upon myself." The dairy lobby works with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. and their bill comes up. the United Auto Workers work with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. and their bill comes up. the leftwing feminists say they want a closed rule and a gag effort. and their bill comes up in the form they want. even if it gets defeated. the Speaker bows to a handful of Democratic political strategists. and the immigration bill does not come up. In effect. the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is playing a specialinterest Rasputin to the Speakers Czar Nicholas in what is now a legislative tyranny for clearly political purposes.
