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

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