"...We have seen dog-tired Members [of Congress] ing lockstep ahead with their eyes fixed only on the end of the 100 Days [of the 1995 Republican 'Contract with America' reform efforts]. Many of the changes wrought by the House were passed without the benefit of a single hearing, or at best with a minimal legislative record. Is this what Jefferson and Madison had in mind?" « Dr. John Gibbons, Science Advisor to the President, from the keynote address of the Apr. 12, 1995 American Assoc. for the Advancement of Science's Policy Colloquium »
