From today’s transcript of House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s briefing with reporters:

Reporter: Switch gears real quick. You voted a couple of days ago for an amendment which prohibited Federal funding from going to ACORN.
Are you committed to ensuring that a final bill that prohibits Federal funding of ACORN passes this year and will you urge President Obama to sign that bill into law?
Mr. Hoyer. As you probably heard George Miller say on the floor, there was no money in that bill for ACORN. And I think we are going to be looking at what, in fact, are the facts here with respect to ACORN. And once we find out what the facts are, I think we will be in a better position to make a determination.
But there were no ‐‐ but that amendment was to make a point. But there were no funds in that bill to go to ACORN.
Reporter: Would you vote the same way again and on the same ‐‐ the same question, this Federal funding for ACORN?
Mr. Hoyer: What Mr. Miller, in supporting the amendment, as you know, simply said is, Look, this is really an issue that is somewhat moot in terms of our bill. But clearly we don’t want to give Federal funds to enterprises that are involved in activity which clearly we don’t support.
