On the recordSeptember 12, 1996
I have talked about 100 pages that cost the taxpayers half a million dollars. I have asked when is a report a report? I have asked when a Member from Connecticut discusses it with the majority leader is it a report? I have asked when the majority leader then denies there is not a report, then is it a report? And, based upon that, according to the gentleman who made the objection and the ruling from the Chair, there is a report, if I reach your conclusions correctly. So if there is a report, then why do you know there is a report, why do the people over here know there is a report, and none of us know there is a report? So if there is a report, why do we not just release the report? That is my point of order, Mr. Speaker.
