Let me say again, Mr. President, how proud I am that the Senate last night voted to name our defense authorization bill the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act. We all admire you and love you so much. You are the idol of every Senator. Your example is one to which we all aspire. We are very proud of you, Mr. President.

You've got to do that every now and then. Even though you might get your little flak from some of the people within your conference. It's called leadership.
When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We`re proud of him. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn`t have had all these problems over all these years either.
I think if they would go back to the old way of getting things done, carefully and systematically, would really help them.
We are going to start doing things a little differently. We are going to go back and do some of the things that worked.
