James Traficant said "I have come to understand that, and I am disappointed. But the committee did not have any hearings, and I have asked the chairman. I will submit this in the form of a bill, and I have checked with the subcommittee chairman, the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Bryant]. I will submit it in the form of a bill and here is all I ask: If this be the Democrats, who for some reasons do not want to get the Justice Department mad, you know we are afraid of getting the IRS mad, and maybe we are afraid of getting the Justice Department mad, and I would like to, if I could, enter into a colloquy with Chairman Bryant and ask is it possible, because this was a new initiative that is germane, that I think should have been made in order, and I am going to submit it as a bill, and I would ask the chairman to give it that consideration, and is that possible?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
