with the exception of Representative Sanchez, I have heard a lot of shouting on the other side of the aisle. Because one shouts does not mean that one is seeking the truth. I think most people in this Chamber know that I would vote for the person who has the evidence on their side and it would have nothing to do with their party. I would not do as a Democratic colleague of mine and friend of long-standing did a decade ago when the evidence was very clear that a Republican had won and he voted strictly the party line against that Republican. I do not tend to follow that kind of a precedent. Ms. Sanchez has not been denied her seat. She sits in this Chamber. The gentleman from Texas [Mr. Bonilla] said quite well what a lot of us feel. We have heard a lot about what is appropriate. What is not appropriate is this resolution. The Gephardt resolution is simply an attempt to deny the truth to this House, and everyone here knows it. Frankly, the resolution shows that maybe this investigation is on the right track. Let us wait and let us get at the truth.
