“let me take a minute to state I am going to make an announcement here, in the next half hour or so, about what the Judiciary Committee is going to do about the Tennessee debacle. So I just want to put people on notice that the Judiciary Committee is going to act on that debacle. I am very upset about it. I am upset about the way law enforcement officers have acted. It appears that there may have been--these are allegations, not necessarily facts--may have been ATF agents, FBI agents, perhaps even U.S. attorneys and other officials, there may even have been some Canadian Royal Mounted Police involved in this racist incident. So I am going to have a few remarks to make, and I am going to set a committee agenda on that before we end today. I just want people to be aware of it because we are not going to sit around and let that type of stuff happen. Mr. President, I will announce with more specifics what we are going to do. But as of today I am sending out a notice that the Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing next Friday on this matter.”
