Key quotes

"I have promised Members that we would not have House Members vote for a bill with a higher topline than would be passed by the Senate.  

Hopefully, that will be at the $3.5 trillion number.  We must be prepared for adjustments according to the Byrd rule and an agreed to number.

This week, we must take decisive action on proceeding with the Build Back Better reconciliation legislation."
