On the recordSeptember 27, 1996
General Montgomery has gone to Hanoi itself, has argued eyeball to eyeball in the 1970's starting, chaired a commission, has given so much time as he has to every aspect of military life, all services, and has been properly rewarded by every veterans group in this country. Every enlisted group and every officer group has commended him for his undying support of our men in the Reserves, the Guard, on active duty, and yes, those left by political and diplomatic circumstances behind while others walked across a freedom bridge or got on a freedom bird in Hanoi, those big Air Force C-141's. I am a Newt Gingrich fan. I supported him at every point in his career. He is a son of an Army artillery officer, as I am the son of an Army artillery officer. He promised me, he saw no reason this could not go on the CR. Kick into high gear, Mr. Speaker; do it for these families. They are counting on you.

There is great suffering going on in northern Iraq. I thought that the Kurdish people would maybe reach a period of tranquility here. They are one of these sad ethnic groups that spread over three, actually four, nations, with the…

If a Member has read--and, of course, I was talking about this Member--over 10 books, traveled Arkansas, spoken to people, and believes that a high public official was and may still be a cocaine addict, do I not have a right to state that…
