Kent Conrad: “I say to my colleague, my friend, you cannot even tell what page…”

On the recordNovember 20, 2004

I say to my colleague, my friend, you cannot even tell what page number it is because on these pages there are three different page numbers. Page 802, page 1112, page 85--take your pick. ... The system is broken, and sooner or later we better fix it. I am going to identify billions of dollars of pork that are in this bill that have had no scrutiny, no competition, no nothing except a testimony of the influence of some member of the Appropriations Committee.
