Henry Waxman: “At this point I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Ellison).”

It is not for the President to say or to obstruct congressional deliberations and investigations or other legitimate functions.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.

No one should be secure while he violates the Constitution and the laws.

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.
