On the recordJanuary 24, 1996
I just wanted to say that, do not ever take Congressman Dornan lightly. One thing you can be sure of, as certain as these are chairs, that he will always tell you the truth. And whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, he will tell you the truth. And that is why I am a Republican. So you are an inspiration to me. For that reason, of which I am very proud of you, and I hope that I can always follow in your footsteps in that I will always, whenever I speak to the public, tell them the truth. With that, I thank the gentleman for giving me the time in the well.
