Kendrick Meek: “I don't put a lot of value in folks coming down to the floor sharing inaccurate information. And it is very unfortunate…”

On the recordJanuary 31, 2007
I don't put a lot of value in folks coming down to the floor sharing inaccurate information. And it is very unfortunate, because one thing that I can say here of the 30-something Working Group, we actually meet off the floor and we make sure, Mr. Speaker, that information that we are sharing is factual, that it is factual and that if someone wants to challenge us on that particular fact, they can go to the Congressional Record, they can go to the Library of Congress, what have you. It is there. Or they can go to a piece of legislation. To come down and make statements that could mislead Members of Congress or could mislead the American public, I think that it is very unfortunate and it is something that should be frowned upon.
