On the recordMarch 10, 1994
I do want to compliment the gentleman for what I think has been an impressive, a very impressive performance. And I do not mean performance in the sense of an actor, but I mean it in the highest sense of promoting an agenda for the Black Caucus, and he has done it, and is due kudos from everyone, to force the emergence of an agenda, to be able to be heard above, a lot of times, the roar in this House. I just think the gentleman has done a very fine job as the chairman. I also want to say that I look forward to the day when I can join with the gentleman and other members of the Black Caucus to sponsor legislation that will remove the terrible class warfare bickering that we have experienced in the period of the eighties into the early nineties.
