On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
I'll send the legislation up there. I think that this is--they should be reluctant; I was reluctant; we're all reluctant. If we had a baseball commissioner, we wouldn't--none of us would have been in here. I respect their reluctance. What I think will happen is, I'll send the legislation up, they'll hear from the American people, and they'll make their own decision. Meanwhile, I hope that the--last night I really began to hope that they'd work it out on their own. That's still what ought to happen, that's the best thing, and I hope they'll do it.
