Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 31, 1997
Mr. Speaker, today I am losing my left arm, I am losing my right arm, but I can afford to lose both for the benefit of an institution I love, the House of Representatives. Where I am totally unorganized, your new administrator is totally organized. Where I do not pay much attention to deadline, your new administrator pays specific attention to deadline. Where I do not think much about planning for the future, your administrator constantly thinks about the next move. So I in losing after 14 years someone who has served our committee very well, has served my constituents very well, and I can guarantee you he will serve this institution very, very well.

just for 2 seconds I wish to indicate to the gentlewoman that I know it is not the President offering the amendment, but she missed my point. For 20 years I sat here trying to get her side to do something about it and they did nothing.
