NO RECALL NEEDED
A Newspaper reporter once
asked Sam Rayburn, "Mr Speaker, you see probably a hundred people a day. You
tell each one 'Yes' or 'No' or 'Maybe'. You are never seen taking notes on what
you told them, but I have never heard of you forgetting anything you have
promised them. What is your secret?"
Rayburn careful eyed his
questioner and replied, "If you tell the truth the first time", replied, "you
don't have to remember".
