The reason for hearing Is not to any legislation, (indeed, I don't know of any That any 'd be passed), But to provide a form For the issue itself, For the issue, For it out in the public domain.

I've had the to ah, Attend a, a you might say, A of ah, porn rock as they call it. In the pornography, One of the things to at Is that it does not any redeeming social value. Ah, there could be an here I haven't attended that presentation. A redeeming value, I that it's inaudible. I have a time understanding it. And, paul, since I travelled the for three years And said they couldn't understand me, Maybe I could make a good rock-star, I know. But in all I would tell you it's, It's filth. So I'll be looking this senator's standpoint Not just to pression, But to try to see if there is constitutional provision To tax, or can be used on the congress To limit this filth.
