Frank Pallone: “And every one of you, I certainly know the gentlewoman from…”

On the recordJuly 22, 1996

And every one of you, I certainly know the gentlewoman from Connecticut and everyone else here, I believe, we were forced, because we could not get a hearing in order to tell the truth about what the Republicans were doing, we were forced to go out in the lawn in the rain, which was a memorable day to have a hearing, to tell the truth. So I see this almost as a first amendment issue. The Republicans do not want the truth to be told. So they are now threatening the media, the way they threatened and tried to gag the people that came and tried to testify at the hearing. They just do not want the truth to come out.
