Nancy Pelosi: “I want to focus on our ranking member for a moment though, because…”

On the recordOctober 2, 1998

I want to focus on our ranking member for a moment though, because tomorrow is his birthday, I want to thank him for being born because of his extraordinary leadership in this House of Representatives. I know this committee best because this is one of my primary committees of service in this Congress. What I am afraid of about this bill, despite the valiant efforts of our distinguished chairman, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Porter), I am afraid this is a bill about missed opportunities. It is about sending a mixed message to America's children.
