Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 2, 1999
I want to commend Senator Moynihan from New York for an excellent statement. He has been a real value to us on the committee. He brings such a wealth of knowledge, information and experience. I thought his observation about at least some of the material the Defense Department has is a worthwhile suggestion. We might want to explore how to make more of that information available to the general public. I think those who are skeptical about whether or not there is legitimacy in pursuing this committee and making the information available as we require it, their concern would be further dispelled were they to have the ability to share some of the information we have come across. I commend my colleague from Utah. I think this memo where he has left off the name--and I will respect that as well here, although I will point out that it is not a Connecticut company. Most people would assume that since it is an insurance company, it is probably located in Connecticut; but it is not. We may want to compose a letter to send to the industry as a whole. I would be very curious as to whether or not this is a unique, isolated case, or whether or not it is being duplicated by others.
