Comment Of Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee,
On The NFL’s Decision To Allow Local Broadcast
Of The Patriots-Giants Game On Saturday
December 26, 2007

"All week in Vermont, people have been stopping me in the stores and restaurants, on the ski slopes, and at the gas station with the same question: Will we get the game Saturday night? I am delighted I can tell my fellow Vermonters that they will see the game and that the Commissioner and the NFL agree with me that there is an historic nature to the game this weekend. As a Vermonter and a New Englander, I am extremely grateful."
