George Miller: “No; it is the firmness when you impugn the integrity of the committee which I run or my chairmanship of that committee…”

On the recordMay 17, 1994
No; it is the firmness when you impugn the integrity of the committee which I run or my chairmanship of that committee or me personally. There is nothing to suggest that I have to take that, and you know you made a bad error in judgment about how you handled this legislation. You will not rub that off on this committee, the membership of this committee on either side of the aisle, or on me.
