“it is time for a little quiz. What is the difference between a community outreach event and a fund-raiser? We really would like to know. But maybe the Vice President can help us. How about this one? What is the difference between a finance-related event and a fund-raiser? Or how about the difference between an event for donor maintenance and a fund-raiser? It is a time for the Vice President to come clean about the legal event, whatever euphemism we want to use to describe it, that was held on April 29, 1996, in California. Maybe the Vice President can help us with the problem we are having trying to understand how an event organized by Maria Hsia, who is a fund-raiser, which raised $55,000, is not a fund-raiser? Mr. Speaker, we do not need an MBA, we do not need a CPA, we do not need a Ph.D. in economics to see when a professional fund-raiser raises $55,000 at a finance-related event we are talking about a fund-raiser. Leaving the shredded documents and money laundering aside, what exactly is the Vice President's explanation about this sordid affair?”
