On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
The Wall Street Journal ran a list finally of all 500 members. There were 499 Democrats and there was one Republican that somehow got in there, an aide to Congresswoman Nancy Johnson. I do not know how that particular aide got in there. But I have heard it said that this plan was devised in the most partisan, secretive way of any plan or any legislation that has ever been seen in this city, and that is really saying something.
