    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to take the House into a seesaw of argument between myself and the Senator. But I believe no matter the position of the Senator in this House, he also owes faith and allegiance to the rules of the House. He cannot pretend to ignore them when he is making a contribution but when it is convenient when another Senator is on the Floor, then it becomes a binding rule. It is not secret in this House that this House does not rely on information collected from television sets or newspapers. That ruling is in our records. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator cannot also run away from the fact that if he is making a statement of fact in his contribution, because he is disputing a position that was stated by the President in the State of the Nation Address, then he should offer what he is calling an alternative. Saying that he is declaring what was said as false, then he must tell the truth and that truth can also be challenged but he cannot proffer himself to be the authority that determines what is false and it becomes false without anything to determine it is false. It is not procedural."
