On the recordMarch 12, 1996
Winston Churchill, who was one of my favorite speakers, said that truth is incontrovertible. Malice may deride it. Ignorance may attack it. But in the end, there it is. John Adams, who I think was a Member of this body at one time, said essentially the same thing, far more simply. He said, facts are stubborn things. We can ignore the facts. We can deny the facts. But in the end, facts are facts. So tonight, for at least a few minutes if not the full hour, and I think we are going to be joined by some of my colleagues, we are going to talk about some of the facts, not only about the budget and some numbers and some facts about what we are really talking about and the consequences it brings for the American people, but also talk about some of those environmental issues.
