Session #97 · 1981–83

Speech #970143742

This Senate proceeding is the direct result of the prosecution of Senator WILLIAMS by the Department of Justice. Without the Abscam investigation and convictions. we would not be here today. obviously. And what this memo says is that as of November 11. 1979. those closest to the investigation felt that they did not have a case. What was the result of this memo? The result was on January 15. 1980. a meeting in which the sheik raised the immigration bill. And I think they blew this one. This was the scam that proved so successful with Members of the House but in this instance. as the record shows. it failed miserably.
