Gerry Studds: “In the spirit of corrections, let me say to the gentleman from New Hampshire, the Atchafalaya Refuge is in Louisiana…”

On the recordJune 11, 1996
In the spirit of corrections, let me say to the gentleman from New Hampshire, the Atchafalaya Refuge is in Louisiana, which is a very long way from Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

I think it must be a lovely existence you have up there. Some of us can think of real problems that need solutions.
