"My views on that subject are well known." "Nonetheless, could you summarize, Mr. Secretary?" "Setting aside my own personal view as to the questionable wisdom of pandering to the demands of a minority," "I believe I have been quite clear that the cost of effectively policing this act would be somewhere in the amount of 28 millions of dollars per annum... approximately five times what Congress has seen fit to authorize." "Would you not consider that, sir, throwing good money after bad?" "That is a question that would have been better asked before the amendment was voted on in 1919." "May I remind my fellow senators that the focus of these hearings is not enforcement, but prosecution?" "In that case, you are speaking to the wrong man." "Oh, we fully intend to call Attorney General Daugherty before this committee." "But what we're seeking today is a sense of to what degree the efforts by your bureau may or may not be undermined by the Department of Justice." "You have been presented with tables laying out the number of arrests versus the number of convictions?" "I, um..." "Yes, we have it right here." "Then you are free to draw your own conclusions." "I don't see what all this pussyfooting is for." "Mr. Mellon, are we talking about gross incompetence inside the Justice Department or widespread corruption?" "It is my experience that human nature leaves ample room for both." "Excuse me." "I believe your left shoelace is in a state of dishabille." "Now Mellon is in there talking to them."
