On the recordMarch 2, 2005

Actually, Mr. Speaker, I scheduled two town halls. We scheduled two town halls. We ended up having three because the second one was out to the street and we just could not pack another person in. So we committed to a third right after the second. And 80 people stayed and they waited to come in and be there for an entire third of the hearing or town hall. Who I had on my panel, I had the representative of AARP, who has not been a friend to seniors since Medicare reauthorization and the prescription drug plan. And he really redeemed himself in my community, actually.
