Neil Abercrombie: “I just want to say, and I want this on the Record, he is the man. He is the man on this. He and I have had these…”

On the recordSeptember 3, 2003
I just want to say, and I want this on the Record, he is the man. He is the man on this. He and I have had these discussions in the past; and if there is anybody who understands the issue, anybody who has been more devoted on this issue, I do not know who it is. I have enormous respect for him not only for the depth of research that he has done on it but the passion he brings to the discussion. And it is something, in the context especially of the tragic circumstances we were just outlining, that definitely needs to be put forward because the financial stability of this country is at stake; and if there is anybody who is a leader in trying to confront that issue in a positive way, it is him.
