On the recordJuly 16, 1997
I think what we are doing here today is healthy because we are not simply slamming each other's motivations. We are not trying to grab this for political purposes. I think that it does do a disservice to our debate when we characterize the President's advocacy of this program in a demeaning way. He is a supporter of this program and of what it is designed to do. We have to have every applicant go through the same process, play by the same rules, and this agency has got to be forthright, honest, open and expedient when we go in to review it. They have to give us an honest review.
