Frank Zappa about Orrin Hatch
"Look, you know about the drug bill. They've been diddling with this thing for quite some time, but on the side ... I actually saw the debate on C-Span. I think the thing was drafted by Strom Thurmond and rammed through by Orrin Hatch. They first tried to attach it to some child care bill."
- Frank Zappa, quoted from Interview by Bob Marshall, 22 October 1988.
