Wayne Gilchrest: “Mr. Speaker, I also want to thank the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Traficant] for his work on this resolution, for his work…”

On the recordMarch 26, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I also want to thank the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Traficant] for his work on this resolution, for his work on the subcommittee. We have a truly bipartisan subcommittee that endeavors to do the work of the Nation, no matter how corny that might sound. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my opening statement, there will be over 15,000 police officers attending this memorial service. It is in dedication to the quiet courage of those law enforcement officers that have dedicated their lives to this great country. In that endeavor we pass this resolution.

So that's not clear. Did the border agents supervisors, or do you have any idea who spoke, if there was, in fact, a grand jury, to determine whether or not there was enough evidence?
