Speaker O’Neill with Committee Members
Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O'Neill (D-MA) seated in a room with middle-aged and elderly adult Caucasian male U.S. House committee chairmen; Rep. Jim Wright (D-TX) nearby. Speaker O'Neill states that Rep. Wright should be the chairman of the unnamed committee and names another committee chairman, off camera, to be on the subcommittee because of his experience. O'Neill goes on to name other committee chairmen proposed to be on the new committee, and asks for volunteers; adult Caucasian male photographers in BG. One of the men wants to bring up another issue. Speaker O'Neill makes it clear that the ideas to stimulate the economy should be focused on 1982 only. One of the men, off camera, voices concern about the purpose of the committee, if it is to focus only on 1982. Long term economic factors means you cannot "divorce" 1982 from 1983.
