I find it especially objectionable, indeed, the gentleman from Florida, a fellow freshman, I suppose who is guilty of showing extremely good sense, the gentleman from Florida pointed out the fact that Federal Government, the executive branch, went to great expense to send out letters with paychecks attempting to play the blame game and politicize the entire crisis, even with Federal paychecks. I decry that whole notion we should play the blame game. I am also happy, however, to point out that in the best tradition of the truth will out, in the best tradition of people having all the facts, we are joined by one tonight who fought off the blame game, who gave straight talk to the people of his district in California. It is an honor to welcome back to this Chamber and to this special order my good friend, the gentleman from California. I thank the gentleman and welcome him as the newest member of the extremely good-sense bunch.
