Eleanor Holmes Norton actually said...

"Ms. Johnson, you are very experienced in Government. This is why the President appointed you to be administrator of GSA."

"I believe in good personnel, but I don't believe that the Government or any other agency or private business can always assure that there will be precisely the people in charge who will keep things go..."

"And I do want to say for the record that the President took action without hesitation."

"It is hard to understand why you would not have treated--and let me go to the bonus."
