Commission Charged

Famous quotes containing the words commission and/or charged:

“Yesterday the Electoral Commission decided not to go behind the papers filed with the Vice-President in the case of Florida.... I read the arguments in the Congressional Record and can’t see how lawyers can differ on the question. But the decision is by a strictly party vote—eight Republicans against seven Democrats! It shows the strength of party ties.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Luna presence,
foredoomed, already dying,
it charged the room
with plangency

older than human
cries,”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
