I am so honored and pleased to be able to come to the House floor once again with another version, another edition of what we call the Official Truth Squad. The role of the Official Truth Squad is to attempt to try to bring some honesty and factual information to the floor of the House of Representatives. Mr. Speaker, as you well know, oftentimes that is difficult to find. Today was no exception on the floor of the House as we tried to, through the debate we had, make sure that facts were being presented and information was reliable upon which people make their decisions was being presented. I am honored by the leadership on the Republican side of the aisle to come to the floor tonight and share with the American people and talk about issues that are of great concern, some of which have been dealt with as recently as today. On the Official Truth Squad, we have a favorite quote which comes from Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who was a United States Senator from New York. He said, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but they are not entitled to their own facts." Mr. Speaker, no place could that ring more true than right here in the halls of Congress.
