Lowey Statement at Hearing on FY12 Dept. of Treasury, International Programs Budget with Sec. Geithner
Thirty years ago, President Reagan affirmed that international financial institutions and I quote 'have contributed enormously to the spread of hope of a better life throughout the world community. They have been inspired by the ideal of a far better world in which economic growth and development would spread to all parts of the globe. For more than three decades, they have worked toward these goals and contributed to results that are now clearly visible to all.' Those words still hold true today.

As we begin this hearing to more closely examine your 2012 budget, its important to note that no program or account will be off limits to scrutiny.

Norm Dicks' Statement on Two Week C.R. (H.Res.44)
I believe we need to set aside...political considerations and get serious about finishing up work on the Fiscal Year 2011 budget... I think it is obvious that we are going to need more than the next two weeks to get from here to there.

Norm Dicks' Statement on Passage of GOP Budget (H.R.1)
The result, after more than four days of debate over hundreds of amendments, is a bill that is regrettably even worse than when it was introduced, and it is now encumbered with an array of ideologically-driven provisions that will surely render it dead on arrival in the other body and virtually impossible for the President to sign it into law.
