On the recordApril 3, 1995
Reclaiming my time, that does not answer the question. The question is who put it into the conference report? Clearly it was the junior Senator from Illinois. And your attempt to somehow smear this Speaker on this, when the Speaker had absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever to do with this, is such a blatant and ugly and clearly politically, partisanly motivated ploy, I do not understand why you make it, when it is so transparent, when it is pointed out that the Speaker had nothing to do with it. The Speaker was not involved with the conference. As I understand it, this is something that was put in the conference report by the junior Senator, a Democrat Senator, from Illinois, with respect to a specific request that was made to her, not even by, as I understand it, Rupert Murdoch, but by Quincy Jones. Have I got the facts wrong?
