The American people may wonder why over the last few weeks they have heard so much hate, venom and smear uttered on this floor. People who should know better have been on this floor, making hateful statements, venomous statements and statements of smear. The fact is that this is their political agenda, and what they are worried about is the fact that the 104th Congress has been the most successful Congress in a generation, and the Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, has been the most successful Speaker of this century. That is what they are concerned about.
