BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, I voted in favor of this resolution because no company should pay large bonuses to employees after receiving taxpayer funds under the Troubled Assets Relief Program. I agreed to the stated ``sense of Congress'' that the President is appropriately exercising all powers available to him because I have no reason to conclude otherwise. But I acknowledge the possibility that the President may not be doing all he can to recover the AIG bonuses. No Representative can know everything an Administration is doing so it is therefore possible that more can be done. If more can be done, it should be done.
