It is very interesting, Mr. Chairman, that just a short time ago my colleague from California came to me with an entreaty to maintain the civility and the smooth running procedures in this House and yet has attempted, perhaps, sadly, because the facts are not on his side, to goad this side of the aisle into some sort of debate when he starts his 'mano a mano' type of talk, and then refers to right wing wackos and cowards. Look, the situation is clear here, and despite all the name calling and the lack of civility, Mr. Chairman, that I hope our friends in the fourth estate noticed in the closing remarks of my colleague from California, despite all the incendiary verbiage, the facts are these: Members of the administration deceived this Congress and moved to deceive the American people. Their deceit has been found out. They have been fined. And American taxpayers should not foot that bill. That is the sense of this Congress resolution.
