we have five or six committees looking into this, and I support investigations into where money came from. Mr. Thompson spent a number of months and came out without evidence. Now we will see what other committees come up with. And if there was a wrong, it should be, it should be not only looked into, but I think it should be redressed. But I suggest to the gentleman, if I can take back my time, and I have heard the gentleman in the Committee on Ways and Means, I know the fervor with which you speak. My only suggestion is keep a bit of that fervor for the final vote on Shays-Meehan, just a bit of it, and do what this system needs.
