"Greetings, I'm trying to track down something Alexander Haig is supposed to have said before a Congressional Committee and for ... and "answer-wise". Anyone know the quote, the context, the award or have any suggestions for resources to find it? Thanks!"
The National Council of Teachers of English gave Haig their 1981 Doublespeak Award "for a series of statements made to Congressional committees about the murder of three American nuns and a religious lay worker in El Salvador": http://www.ncte.org/council_awards/doublespeak.shtml
William D. Lutz, who chairs the NCTE's Committee on Public Doublespeak, quotes some of Haig's testimony in this article:

Famous Haigisms include "epistemologicallywise" and "saddle myself with a statistical fence." I recall Garry Trudeau's cartoon Doonesbury parodied Haigspeak quite a lot in 1981-- perhaps the convoluted quote you're thinking of actually comes from that.
