Harold Volkmer said "I say it is a huge waste of taxpayer's money to spend $500,000 to have a very good attorney to gather up all this evidence and give it to the committee, which the committee already had, and if it is not a report, then I do not know what it is, but it is their way of getting out of releasing it. I cannot imagine going to the country, tell them we have got a $1.6 million report, and by the way there is nothing in it, but you cannot see it. This is exactly what we are talking about." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
