John Dingell actually said...

"the situation stinks and quite honestly, the legislation is not good."

"I am just a poor Polish lawyer from Detroit, but I would remind members of the subcommittee that we are not engineers..."

"this subcommittee would be much better served by holding hearings on issues that affect American families and consumers."

"These unnecessary changes that you are making to hasten the process are counterproductive in the extreme, and I beg the committee not to engage in this kind of silly activity."
