Willie Hefner: “But the point I am making, the gentleman stood in the well and he said the President said, I will put 133,000 people out…”

On the recordJanuary 4, 1996
But the point I am making, the gentleman stood in the well and he said the President said, I will put 133,000 people out of work. I do not believe he has that in print from the President of the United States. I do not care what rhetoric he uses about a letter that he sent to the other body. Show me in print where the President of the United States said, I will put 133,000 people out of work.
