 The reason for this hearing is not to promote any legislation, (indeed, I don't know of any suggestion that any legislation 'd be passed), but to simply provide a form for airing the issue itself, for ventilating the issue, for bringing it out in the public domain.

 I've had the opportunity to ah, attend a, a showing you might say, a presentation of ah, this Porn Rock as they call it.

 Thank you very much, Mr. Zappa. You understand that ah, the previous witnesses were not asking for legislation and ah, I don't know, I can't speak for senator Hollings, but I think that the prevailing view here is that nobody's asking for legislation. The question is just focusing on what a lot of people could feel that could be a problem. And you've indicated that you at least understand that there is another point of view. Really nearly over the year ...

 Thank you very much, ah, mister chairman. I found your statement very interesting and, ah let me say although I disagree with some of the statements that you make, and have made on other occasions – I have been a fan of your music, believe it or not – and I, I ah respect you as a true original and, and ah tremendously talented musician.

 Mr. Zappa, I ah, am astounded at the ah, courtesy and soft-voiced ah, nature of the comments of my friend the senator from Tennessee. I can only say that I find your statement to be boorish, ah, incredibly and ah, insensitively insulting the people who were here previously. That you could manage to get the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States a bad name - if I doubt that you have the slightest understanding of it - which I do not, and have the slightest understanding of the difference between government action and private action. And ah, you have certainly destroyed any case you might otherwise have had with this senator. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
