LaTourette (R-OH) asked for consent to deliver a letter to Rep. Frank from Focus on the Family (and that it be entered into the record of today's hearing). In response, Frank facetiously said "It's a letter to me from Focus on the Family? I will treasure that . . . I get so few of them." Which got a good laugh. Then he asked if the letter was signed "Yours truly" or "With great affection." Frank obviously pretty familiar w/FOF.
