Al Green: “Recently the Houston Oilers received the final agreement to leave Houston and become the Tennessee Oilers, playing in…”

On the recordJuly 17, 1997
Recently the Houston Oilers received the final agreement to leave Houston and become the Tennessee Oilers, playing in Memphis, TN, this year and later on in Nashville, TN. As a long-time Houston Oiler fan, I am looking for a new professional team to adopt. I worked as a 13-year-old at the old Oiler football games at Jeppesen Stadium, now Robertson Stadium, on the University of Houston campus. Today I am cleaning out some of my Oiler paraphernalia like a lot of people in Houston are doing. I want to present them to the gentleman from Nashville, TN [Mr. Clement] and say, ``You can have this hat, you can have this glass that says Houston Oilers,'' even a bumper sticker from our local radio station that plays the Oilers and their games, and even a pin that says, ``Love You, Blue.''

Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. President, but you will hear from me again. I have more than enough time left in Congress to continue calling out your corruption. Sincerely, your unbought, unbossed, unafraid, unelected, liberated democrat.

In closing, I have been censured but not silenced. In closing, I still say the solution is impeachment. We are still in a countdown to impeachment.
