Spencer Bachus: “I will say this, and I say this with some hesitance of being misinterpreted, but I am going to say it, President Clinton…”

On the recordJuly 16, 1997
I will say this, and I say this with some hesitance of being misinterpreted, but I am going to say it, President Clinton was a supporter of this program before it was created. He advocated it before it was created. He was a proponent of it. So his involvement in pushing it or advocating it should in no way indicate any ill intent on his part.
