On the recordOctober 15, 1998
I want to say this, I knew Frank Riggs as a candidate in 1992. I was given a poster of the gang of 7. The gang of 7 was everybody's hero model. The gang of 7 consisted of Mr. Doolittle, among others, and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Boehner) and the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Nussle) and Mr. Riggs. We all loved the gang of 7 because they were the ones who were the young turks who blew open the House bank scandal, which the folks of America did not understand why there were so many overdrafts by Members of Congress. We were just so appreciative of this young energetic, very small, but determined group who blew the whistle on that and said this Congress cannot continue to have such shenanigans.
