House Appropriations Committee

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or committee:

    Then the master said to the slave, Go out into the roads and lanes, and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 14:23.

    The absence on the panel of anyone who could become pregnant accidentally or discover her salary was five thousand dollars a year less than that of her male counterpart meant there was a hole in the consciousness of the committee that empathy, however welcome, could not entirely fill.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
