Famous quotes containing the words commission and/or report:

    Yesterday the Electoral Commission decided not to go behind the papers filed with the Vice-President in the case of Florida....

    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Thou wrong’st a gentleman, who is as far
    From thy report as thou from honor, and
    Solicits here a lady that disdains
    Thee and the devil alike.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
