Barney Frank said "I think the example of openness we set here is important. Let GOPAC and every other political organization controlled by Members of the House follow the example because certainly no Member of the House would want to be considered so inconsistent as to vote that we will open meetings that no one wants to come to and then at the same time conceal information that people want to know about. The principle of openness is important. Let us hope that it sets a good example." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
