several phone calls from two aides to Rep.
J.C.

report

House, both because his own growing dissatisfaction with his
leadership role, and because of criticism he was receiving from
Republican colleagues tired of his perceived belly-aching and
pouting. One of the callers was particularly upset by a quote from
a longtime Watts adviser who said of Watts, “I don’t think he knows
