“I thank the Chair. I, too, attended for a few years the ski cup in Utah, had a very good time, and was convinced that the Primary Children's Hospital was a wonderful place. And the last time I went I brought a check from me, personally, to the hospital because I thought it was so good. But when you do the accounting and you look at what is spent on travel and entertainment and lodging and ski lifts and ski instructors, and you count the net, I think that we could do just as well for the Primary Children's Hospital if we all said to the companies that sponsored it, give it direct and we will salute you out here in front of the Capitol. Give the money direct and forget about all of the other stuff, the entertainment. It was fun while it lasted, but its time has passed, Mr. President.”
