On the recordMay 23, 2002
When I bring my amendment up, I will ask some of you that have been coming up to me telling me all day long, ``Sonny, you are doing exactly the right thing,'' I am going to have some handouts, and I want some of you to take these handouts and stand at the door and give these to the Members as they come in so they can understand exactly what we are talking about. It is not a question of whether or not we love Israel, because we all do; it is a question of what is right and wrong. So, in any event, to those of you that have been anxiously awaiting all day long, we are on the brink of having this debate, as soon as the Committee on Rules comes back. By the time they come back, I will have the charts that really bring out vividly my points.
