On the recordMay 10, 1996
I have been misled. I thought that Members of Congress were supposed to hold themselves to a higher standard. I thought that they were supposed to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. I was even naive enough to believe that male Members of Congress were supposed to treat females and males equally. Boy, was I mistaken. Yesterday, two Democrat Congressmen insulted two hard-working and dedicated female staffers. Not because of their job performance, not because of anything they said, and not because of anything they did. The only reason these staffers were insulted was because their husbands were prominent public servants. Mr. Speaker, at a time when we are supposed to be honoring our mothers for their selfless dedication and hard work, these two Democrat Congressmen have set new lows in the respect for women. They should apologize for their insulting remarks.
