“It is really unfortunate what is going on here. My colleague on the Democratic side of the aisle, his reputation is being besmirched in order to avoid the real issue, and I think it is really outrageous that the gentleman from Louisiana is doing this. This is not about the gentleman from California (Mr. Stark), because the Capitol police came to visit us, and I was in that room in the library behind the Committee on Ways and Means hearing room, before the completion of the reading of the bill was going on. That was before the gentleman from California (Mr. Stark) and the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. McInnis) had even their discussion; and, as a result of that, the Capitol police were called before the gentleman from California (Mr. Stark) had even said anything. As a result of that, what the gentleman is doing to the gentleman from California (Mr. Stark) is doing major damage to his credibility at the same time when the real fault is the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. He called the Capitol police.”
