Mr. Speaker, it was not 18 years but 35 years ago that the first proposal to reform the sport of boxing was introduced. It was done so by then Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. That legislation was aimed at trying to prevent what Senator Kefauver then believed was mob control of the sport. His legislation would have set up a commission under the Department of Justice to investigate fights.
