“I am shocked by the new discoveries that have been made by the editors of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) in his so-called investigation. Just listen to this: It turns out that when Franklin Delano Roosevelt rallied our country during the Depression, what he really said was, ``The only thing we have is fear itself.'' At John F. Kennedy's stirring inaugural, what he actually said was, ``Ask not what you can do for your country.'' Most shocking of all, the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) has discovered that Republicans as well as Democrats have been misquoted through the years. Even George Bush, if the skillful editors of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) were around in 1988, they may have changed history. In Burton-land, George Bush actually said, ``Read my lips: New taxes.'' Hard to believe? No harder to believe than the distorted, dishonest, and discredited tapes Mr. Burton tried to fool the American people with. This deceit is shameful. I guess the only thing the gentleman's committee's multimillion-dollar spending spree cannot buy is fairness and honesty. Do all Americans a favor and stop this charade.”
