William Pryor: “Mr. President, let me state in the presence of my colleague, the Senator from Iowa, that I have never talked to anyone…”

On the recordMay 2, 1996
Mr. President, let me state in the presence of my colleague, the Senator from Iowa, that I have never talked to anyone in the White House about this bill. Never, ever have I talked to anyone in the White House about this bill. I do not think they have any idea whether there is a hold on this bill or not. In fact, I think I have seen in the press, or I have heard somewhere, that the President has indicated that he would probably sign this bill. I do not know what the President's position on this bill is.
