James Traficant: “Well, I have not published any names, and I am hoping not to do that. But if the point comes we are running out of time…”

On the recordJune 8, 1994
Well, I have not published any names, and I am hoping not to do that. But if the point comes we are running out of time, I may decide to do that. But I am not surprised. Mac Collins, that you have signed, and I wish that everybody around the country would recognize it is going to take a little bit of strength to sign that discharge petition. The trouble is, Mr. Collins, not everybody exhibits the same type of strength and fortitude that you have here in the Congress. This is not an easy thing to do, but this is an important thing to do for the American people. And that is why people like yourself are going to have to give me a hand, Mr. Collins, because it don't look good without your help.
