Scope and Contents
The text is a response from man Dick Armey to a constituent who expressed opposition to the new majority in operating under closed rules. Armey agrees with the constituent and explains that the new majority is working to allow more fair and open debate by restricting the use of closed rules. He points to the example of H.R. 5, which had 150 amendments, as an example of their commitment to open rules. Armey thanks the constituent for contacting him and emphasizes the importance of all men being allowed to join in the debate as they work to change America.
