“I really appreciate all the hard work that got us here today. Mr. Speaker, I have to tell you, as I sat here on this floor listening to the conversation, it reminded me of an old saying that my father had. For many, many years, I heard this: A lie can travel around the world three times before the truth can get up and put its pants on. That was before the internet. Now, after what I have heard today, I would say it is probably more like 100 times that a lie can travel around the world before the truth can get up and put its pants on.”
