Jack Kingston: “I know that the gentleman's time is about to expire, so I will just close with this, that, again, under the leadership…”

On the recordJune 30, 1999
I know that the gentleman's time is about to expire, so I will just close with this, that, again, under the leadership of Speaker Hastert, we are working on what we call the Best agenda. Again, the B is for the best, strongest military. E is for excellence in education. S is for saving Social Security. And T is for reducing taxes. We are making a lot of progress. This year, for the first year in many years, the appropriations bills will be passed out of the House ahead of the cycle, ahead of the calendar, and we are making a lot of progress. I appreciate the gentleman from Colorado allowing me to share some of his time tonight, and I look forward to working with him in the balance of the year.

I think there's going to be a real interesting back-story here because if I'm the president right now I'm talking to John Kelly and saying, tell me what you knew, who kept this information from you if you did not know.
