I find myself at a loss as where to begin. I have been wading through searches at their web site trying to find reference to this transcript with negative results so far. No response required. Thanks.

If we only had more of his kind in Congress the likes of Turbin head would hide meekly in fox holes and not dare show their faces in public forums. Anyway, his words seemed appropriate at this juncture in time.
