 MotherJones JA93: Foley flexes
Foley won't disclose how many fours and fives there were, saying only, "There was a core of support, but there was still a lot of unhappiness, a lot of grumbling." Both the opponents and the supporters had to be wooed.
Tom Nides says that the intent was "to hear their concerns," but undoubtedly a second goal was to deflect the formation of a powerful reform bloc like the "Watergate babies" of 1974.
Foley's final stroke was his January 8 decision not to reappoint Dave McCurdy to chair the Intelligence Committee.

 That memo - Republican National Committee's Mark Goodin's memo on Tom Foley National Review - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Today the initial impression of Foley's moderation is beginning to change, not least because of a Washington Times story quoting the Speaker as likening President Bush to a "mad dog after a bone" on capital-gains taxes and deriding his "macho style" in an off-the-record talk with European journalists.
