The key is to recognize the difference between a simple majority vote and multiple converging lines of evidence. Some lines of evidence have greater weight than other lines. The argument in favor of a Pearl Harbor conspiracy does not have converging lines of evidence to support it unless said evidence is folded, spindled, and mutilated to fit the theory. The primary documents from the period, when examined as objectively as possible, do not support the thesis.
The Congressional Record is the primary source document for all things uttered on the floor of the House and the Senate. The absence of this speech from the Congressional Record deprives the argument for its authenticity of any support.

Since there was no recording system, I doubt it would be in the record unless it was requested and provided in documentary form by Crockett!

And you don't think that is subject to subjectivity?
