On the recordOctober 9, 1998
I think that it is undoubted that the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Henry B. Gonzalez) is leaving an indelible mark, not only on this institution, the United States House of Representatives, but on our entire country. Some would point, as my colleague, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Green) has done, in providing leadership here tonight for this special order, to his triumphs in banking and housing. Others remember him as a champion of open government, and our friend, the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Barney Frank), refers to his demystifying, if that can be done, of the Federal Reserve Bank more than anybody in history.
