December 14, 2007
Washington, D.C. -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement responding to remarks by President Bush at the White House this morning. Below her statement is a link to a fact sheet of major legislation the President has signed into law:
'Democrats in Congress have made progress this year despite reckless opposition from the President and Republicans in Congress. This month, we will send the President historic energy independence legislation that increases fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks for the first time in a generation, a middle-class tax cut for 23 million Americans, and a final budget bill that addresses the priorities of the American people with new investments in education, cancer research, and law enforcement.
'I hope that among the President's New Year's resolutions will be a pledge to stop blocking progress and work with Congress to deliver for the American people.'
