The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND H.R. 4105” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H7873-H7874 on Sept. 20, 2000.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND H.R. 4105
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, while Congress fights over small pay raises, the Justice Department gave $180 million worth of bonuses. If that is not enough to promote the Peter Principle, Robert Bratt and Joe Lake got big bucks for illegal contracts, illegal hiring of cronies, and illegal visas for two lovers they called field operatives, and neither was even charged.
Let us check further. Colgate got $110,000, Sposato got $85,000, Vail got $75,000. Meanwhile, my $1 minimum wage bill is still being blocked in the Senate, and this group of cronies at the Justice Department maintains dossiers on myself and all my colleagues, making sure we do not destroy their gravy train.
Beam me up here. It is time to pass H.R. 4105 and put a bulldog right on their buns, big time.
