Henry Hyde: “The gentleman had an opportunity not to take the Washington name off of the Washington National Airport, but simply to…”

On the recordFebruary 4, 1998
The gentleman had an opportunity not to take the Washington name off of the Washington National Airport, but simply to add to it Ronald Reagan, and the gentleman did not like to do that. Also, just let me say, the gentleman is quite right. The Reagan building such as it is ought to satisfy people. But we have the George Washington Parkway, we have the Washington Monument, we have the City of Washington, D.C. It would seem to me in the Washington National Airport there would be room for a few more letters acknowledging and honoring President Reagan.

I was simply going to suggest to my good friend, Mr. Berman, that while you are looking for patterns of conduct, think of the Libya example. Mr. Khadaffi might just turn in all their weapons. That is entirely possible.
