Excerpt from Ethics Process, Testimony of Hon. Louis Stokes, Hon. James Hansen, and a Panel of Academic Experts: Hearing Before the Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, February 25, 1993
Mr. Stokes. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and let me say how much I appreciate the opportunity to appear here before this Joint Committee and to give testimony on this very important subject.
I'm also pleased to be joined here by Jim Hansen. Jim has given the House extraordinary service in terms of serving on the Ethics Committee of the House. He has actually served 12 years on that committee, and as you and I both know, this is an assignment that no member of the House seeks. It is a service that we render out of the love and respect that we have for the institution and for our colleagues with whom we serve.
And while I have served two times, once for a period of 4 years as chairman of the committee and another period for 2 years, Jim's service has been over and beyond any service we have a right to expect of any member. It's an honor to be here with him this morn Ing.
