stand out to you? david jackson is effective on the committee. of course, schumer, who is perhaps the biggest proponent of gun control in congress, so he was someone that a lot of democrats rallied around because this was already an issue back in 1993. and he was cast as the villain by republicans and a lot because of his gun control views. so he he he very much was a player in both sets of hearings, both in 93 and in 95. and mike skynyrd's, an interesting name he's brought up. i believe he was defeated in his next election by a conservative coalition that included a lot of gun owners, gun, gun ownership groups. and so there's a feeling that the hearings may have cost him a chance to move on up and in congress, the republicans on the 1993 waco hearing. ham, fish, hamilton fish was the lead republican charles kennedy of florida. howard coble, north carolina elton gallegly, california. george gekas, pennsylvania. bob goodlatte, virginia. henry hyde of illinois. moorehead of california. jim ramstad of minnesota. steve schiff of new mexico. james sen

committee. what do you what what stands out for you? it was really remarkable. and it's actually the way i came across the story itself was i stumbled across the oral history accounts of many of these young staffers. decades later, these oral histories done for the truman presidential library in missouri. many of them after after truman hired hugh fulton, they began building a staff, and they hired a bunch of young lawyers and investigators, many of them in their first jobs out of college. and suddenly these young people found themselves in the middle, you know, in the capitol building, investigating, meeting with captains of industry and the heads of the military, admirals and generals, and going all around the country investigating the war effort. for many of them, this was the best job they had ever had in their lives. they felt they felt very much they had been able to make a contribution to the war effort. and their stories were kind of inspiring. and it's kind of what got me to write this story. there was a young lawyer named bob irvin who was fresh out of
