Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[THE CHAIRMAN]: Do you know if any foreign government is helping to supply the Contras? There is a report in the L.A. paper, for example, that the Saudis are. [MR. GEORGE]: [ 3 ] No sir, we have no intelligence of that. [MR. ABRAMS]: I can only speak on that question for the last fifteen months when I have been in this job, and that story about the Saudis to my knowledge is false. I personally cannot tell you about pre-1985, but in 1985-1986, when I have been around, no. [THE CHAIRMAN]: Is it also false with respect to other governments as well? [MR. ABRAMS]: Yes, it is also false.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Abrams“I was, until today, fairly confident that there was no foreign government contributing to this. But I knew nothing, still don’t know anything, about the mechanisms by which money was transferred from private groups that have been raising it, to the Contras.”
