James Norton said "I bring, I must say, particular congratulations, however, to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Roemer) for what he has done and the way he has done it. What he has done is define a great American family, one of the most distinguished in our history, who has simply been overlooked among all the memorials that stand out there all over Washington, D.C., our first and sixth President, and one of the most important First Ladies, Abigail Adams, an extraordinary writer in her own right and a strong abolitionist. There is no need for us, really, to lay out the reasons for a memorial for this family in the Congressional Record. The reasons have already been laid out in the texts of American history and in the vindication of history itself." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

I bring, I must say, particular congratulations, however, to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Roemer) for what he has done and the way he has done it. What he has done is define a great American family, one of the most distinguished in our history, who has simply been overlooked among all the memorials that stand out there all over Washington, D.C., our first and sixth President, and one of the most important First Ladies, Abigail Adams, an extraordinary writer in her own right and a strong abolitionist. There is no need for us, really, to lay out the reasons for a memorial for this family in the Congressional Record. The reasons have already been laid out in the texts of American history and in the vindication of history itself.
