On the recordJanuary 18, 1995
Therefore, is it indeed true that the Chair never ruled Mr. Gingrich's comments inappropriate in his inquiries about Mr. Wright's publishing activities and his $12,000 profit? My parliamentary inquiry was this: Was the Member from Georgia's words, Madam President, Mr. Gingrich's words, ever taken down when he rose on the floor and raised questions about the $12,000 publishing deal of Mr. Wright? My memory, Mr. Speaker, is those words were never taken down.
