On the recordOctober 13, 1995
Well, if the tactics at the committee were bad, the tactics on the floor are worse, to pretend this was some real demonstration by real senior citizens, when this was an organized lobby group planning to disrupt the meeting. To bring pictures on the floor and make it look like some poor senior citizen was not heard is just Hollywood. That is all it is. We ought to put that behind us as quickly as we can and begin to debate the merits of our proposal. I agree, we have a good plan. We ought to debate it, and I am prepared to begin talking about it.
