“I rise this morning to bring you news from home. In my case home is the Sixth Congressional District of Arizona, a district in square mileage almost the size of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and now with the explosive growth in the Grand Canyon State a district that is home to well nigh one million Americans. From the pages of the Holbrook Tribune-News, indeed from the editorial page of March 19, the headline reads, ``This Story Needs More Attention.'' Paul Barger, the publisher of the Holbrook Tribune-News, writes, and I quote, ``For some time there have been reports circulating regarding the possible theft of highly classified missile secrets from Los Alamos since the 1980s. The thefts were apparently discovered in 1995, and the person allegedly involved was allowed to resign recently. The matter has been kept quiet for what seem to be political reasons.'' Paul Barger concludes, ``It is sad that so much attention is given to issues of no real import while serious matters of our national security and America's future are glossed over.'' Thus, the headline from the editorial, ``This Story Needs More Attention.''”
