Bill Clinton actually said...

"Secretary Perry's many trips abroad were as much about checking in with our troops and their families as they were about meeting with defense ministers and military leaders in other lands."

"His practice of bipartisanship earned Bill Perry the trust and respect of the Congress and the American people."

"When the history of our time is written, Bill Perry may well be recorded as the most productive, effective Secretary of Defense the United States ever had."

"I transmit herewith the Report on Executive Branch Oversight of the Intelligence Community Budget."
