I think that in almost every instance where we have dealt with questions which were involved in the contract in the 100 days we found that the legislation has changed faster than even the managers of the legislation could understand. And that they were incapable of explaining language which was in their own bill. I think that good legislative practice deserved better protection of the public interests and requires better than the legislation we have before us." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
