Gilbert Gutknecht: “I must tell you I am proud to be a Member of this Congress, the 104th Congress, and even more proud to be a part of this…”

On the recordSeptember 13, 1995
I must tell you I am proud to be a Member of this Congress, the 104th Congress, and even more proud to be a part of this freshman class. I hear that it was an excellent hearing, that the testimony was excellent. The other thing that I think that has come back in some of the comments we were talking about earlier, that there is so much common sense out there among the American people, and sometimes they wonder why they cannot see more common sense coming from Washington. One of the things I did was, I heard about this article that was in Reader's Digest a few months ago, 'The Death of Common Sense.' I bought a whole lot of reprints.
