“I wanted to say to my friend, he was present, is it not true, one day last week prior to the vote when we were in an office in the Dirksen Building and we called in a constitutional law expert to go over once again the fact that section 7 of the underlying constitutional amendment said that all revenues must be included? The report language and everything else pointed to the fact that that includes Social Security revenues. Then we asked him, going over the argument again, would a speech, a letter, or a statute in effect do away with section 7 of the constitutional amendment? It is true, is it not, that the scholar said it would not? Once a constitutional amendment passed, Social Security would be there, it would be used for balancing the budget, unless you again amended the Constitution? Is that not true?”
