How's That?
A sampling of the unauthorized revisions in the House committee records:
> Republican Robert Walker of Pennsylvania said, "I am willing to take part in reasonable hearings." The record quotes him as being "not willing to take part in reasonable hearings."
> Referring to the Democrats' attendance at a hearing, Indiana's John Hiler said, "The majority had about one or two people here." The record changes "majority" to "minority," making it seem that he was criticizing the Republicans.
> A similar change was made when Judd Gregg of New Hampshire complained about the "majority" staff. The record makes it "minority" staff.
> Gregg also said, "There were no partisan attacks on the EPA's failure to come into New Hampshire," which was changed to "There were no partisan aspects to the EPA'S activities in New Hampshire."
> Hiler criticized the work of the Democratic staff, saying of certain witnesses, "We didn't know they were going to be here until twelve hours ago." The complaint vanished from the final version.
