Adam Smith: “I said, you know, that is really something. I said I was never coming to Congress. My polls were very high for the last…”

On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
I said, you know, that is really something. I said I was never coming to Congress. My polls were very high for the last 6 years, nearly 90 percent, I said I am not going because those guys are not doing anything. I am pretty glad to say not only are we doing something, but I am actually not sleeping more than 4 or 5 hours a night. It is pretty exciting. We came to a whole bunch of people ready to do action. We might be the steam, the freshmen, but there certainly was a train on its way. We are just pushing it along a little.
