Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 6, 1995
I have happily discovered that many of my colleagues, like I did campaigned with a copy of the U.S. Constitution in our pockets. As one who strongly believes in government strictly according to constitutional principles, I make our Government's defining document the object of constant study. In fact, before almost every speech I give on the House floor, I consult the Constitution to remind myself of, and clarify, the underlying constitutional principle involved. That is why I am so happy one of my constituents has written and published 'The Exhaustive Concordance to the United States Constitution.' The book is a valuable treasure for avid constitutionalists like myself. Through the generosity of this book's editor, Dr. Dennis Bizzoco, of Chattanooga, TN and its publishers, an individual copy for each Member of Congress--Senators, Representatives, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner--is being made available free of charge. I am happy to report to my colleagues their copy was delivered to them this morning through inside mail.
